During the months September through March we have a monthly lecture on the evening of the third Tuesday in the month. The lectures are currently held in the Landau Forte College, which is in the centre of Derby.

From April to October we organise a coach outing to both National Trust properties and other private houses and gardens. Places are booked on a first-come, first-served basis when details are published along with the twice yearly newsletter. Other events are organised from time to time, such as rambles.

Many of our members support the work at local properties, especially Kedleston, Calke and Sudbury, as room stewards and in other capacities.
