QUAD Derby

This weekend, QUAD celebrates its first birthday!

QUAD opened on 26th September 2008, and since then over 220,000 visitors have been through the doors to see films, exhibitions, take part in workshops, talks, and have a meal or drink.

Today, our Patron John Hurt CBE visited for a special event, and to cut our birthday cake! (pictured)

Thanks to some of our customers for sending these birthday messages:

“There are lots of arty things to do and learn for a wide range of ages with an attractive, contemporary and well staffed facility in a great location within Derby city that is easy to get to” Deborah, Derby

“What I love about QUAD is the fantastic cinema experience. Competitively priced tickets, great variety of films and of course very comfy chairs! Coffee and cake awesome too.”  Simon, Derby

“The arrival of QUAD means an entertaining, friendly and informative arts' centre is now on my door-step!” Vanessa, Derby

 “I love the QUAD Café, because you’re part of the crowds milling about outside, yet safe and warm in a glass capsule; your own little home in the centre of the city. I love the QUAD building because it vibrates with the richness of the multitude of stories to be told.”
Sue, Belper

“I love QUAD because it offers such a variety of things for all age of people from the Cine Kids to the knitters. It has such a relaxed atmosphere with friendly and welcoming staff, it feels like home from home.”
