Museum of the Moon’ is now on display at Derby Cathedral until 6th October.

The piece is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram, measuring seven metres in diameter, and featuring 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface.

Celebrating Women’s History Month! On March

📢 Celebrating Women’s History Month!
On March 10, 1917, Derby woman Alice Wheeldon was convicted—alongside her daughter, Winnie Mason, and son-in-law, Alf Mason—of conspiring to assassinate Prime Minister David Lloyd George and Labour leader Arthur Henderson. A dedicated suffragist, pacifist, and anti-war activist, Alice’s trial was sensational and politically charged, involving undercover agents, accusations of bad character, and an alleged poison plot.
Over time, evidence has revealed a serious miscarriage of justice. Today, a growing campaign to clear their names continues to inspire local communities, historians, and supporters around the world. ✊
A plaque dedicated to Alice can be found on Albion Street as part of the Made in Derby trail #WomensHistoryMonth #AliceWheeldon #JusticeForAlice
