A new city experience
Cathedral Quarter
Wander around the city's historical Cathedral Quarter and discover the area's unique shopping experience.
You will find shopping which is individual, diverse and inspiring. Many shops are independent specialist shops with premium brands, from fashion to jewellery, unusual gifts and furnishings for the home!
Take a break from shopping, relax in one of the many cafes and enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat in Derby's most historic part of the city.
See below for a few of the specialist shops in the Cathedral Quarter - all worth paying a visit!
Bennetts Department Store - Iron Gate
Bennetts claims to be the world's oldest department store, but do not be fooled by the age of the store on Iron Gate.
As well as specialising in some of the most modern culinary devices available, Bennetts is also home to Young Ideas, a gorgeous boutique clothing shop, selling the best and most exclusive brands including Juicy Couture and Ralph Lauren.
Silvarious - Sadler Gate
Situated on the characteristic cobbled street of Sadler Gate, Silvarious offers outstanding quality of unique jewellery handcrafted especially for the independent store in Derby.
From earings and necklaces, through to brooches and bangles, find the perfect treat for yourself or someone special. Look out for their exotic range which takes "the best of both western and eastern cultures" for true inner beauty.
Ink & Thread - The Strand
Ink & Thread on The Strand is all about British made things that are useful and beautiful! Everything on their shelves has been handpicked from the best of British design, meaning these high quality goods cannot be pruchased from anywhere else nearby!
Look out for the quirky yet reminiscent cushions inspired by Tunnock's Caramel Wafer wrapper!
Brigdens Clothing - Iron Gate
Brigdens Clothing is one of Derby's top independent clothing stores specialising in high end clothing for men and women.
With two different shops on Iron Gate, seperated into the men's and women's collections, Brigdens pride themselves on being one of the best clothing tailors still around. From classy dinner jackets, to stunning cocktail dresses, find that remarkable item of clothing that's going to be made just for you.
Circus Clothing - Sadler Gate
Circus Clothing is all about niche fashion brands for men. With a distinctive "in-your-face" attitude of clothing, the shop is fantastic for those discerning men who wish to stand out from the crowd in the correct way.
All labels stocked are almost exclusively for Circus, sharing some famous labels with only independent stores in London.
Also look out for...Derby Market Hall
Referred to locally as the Fish Market, the Market Hall is a fully restored Victorian Market Hall with stalls selling fresh produce (including fish!), and the home to the traditional Tobacconist in the city!
Look out also for the array of beautiful looking and smelling flower shops as you browse the Hall and two gentleman selling Derby pyclets!
