Pickfords House is an amazing museum located at Derby in UK. Hidden amongst the gorgeous old buildings and cobbled pavement of Friar Gate sits Pickford’s House; the professional showcase and family home of Georgian architect Joseph Pickford. Now the museum illustrating aspects of domestic life from the 18th to the 20th centuries, the grandeur of Georgian architecture and the changes that occurred in the house over its 250-year life.

The first evidence of a garden layout at the rear of Pickford’s House is illustrated on street plans drawn in the middle of the 19th century. The garden seen here today is based on the French parterre design in which paths surround symmetrical beds edged in box and yew. To the side of the house is a wonderful wildlife garden. Although this is laid out in a formal style, its main objective is to provide year round food for wildlife in the form of nectar and berries.

Whether you want to host an intimate dining experience, a celebratory party, a national conference or a small board room meeting, Derby Museums has an inspirational space for you. We have many exciting places you can hire for all types of events.

Speak to one of our friendly staff from our functions team, and they will be able to assist you in ensuring your next event is professionally run, stress free and memorable.
