Best Insider tip at Pride Park Stadium?

If Derby is known for anything, it’s great pubs with fantastic local ales. No fewer than 18 pubs are listed on the CAMRA Good Pub Guide in this industrial town, so I think my tip requires little explanation: explore them! Whether it’s bookending a match, or perhaps spending an extra day in the area, a thorough tour of even some of these pubs will have your taste buds aroused and your thirst thoroughly quenched. Real ale, for those who know what it means to drink properly!

Look out for special offers in the concourses – such as a pie and a pint for a special reduced price!

Derby County are proud to put their fans first – and so offer a great experience for first time fans; where you can get a certificate, meet Ewey the mascot and even get your name on the big screen.

Although they don’t run on a match day – for just £8, you can go behind the scenes at Pride Park and visit the press areas, players lounge, changing rooms, and walk down the tunnel before snapping pictures of the dig out. A great experience for an old fan or a new one.
