Sunday Sessions: Rhiannon, Live and Acoustic
Rhiannon
Rhiannon is playing live at The Brasserie at Darleys in Darley Abbey Mills, Derby, on Sunday 18 October from 5:30pm. Entry is free, so there's no ticket to buy and you can simply walk in.
It's her second Sunday with us, after she first played here on 9 August. She only played her first ever open mic in May 2025 and spent her first year playing around thirty gigs round the pubs. She plays in the restaurant itself as part of Sunday Sessions, the live music we put on every Sunday evening, so you can arrive whenever suits you, even once she's already started.
The kitchen opens at 5pm if you'd like to eat before she starts. The bar is open to anyone who just wants a drink, and if you'd like a table for dinner while she plays, it's best to book online or ring us on +44 1332 364987.

About Us
≻≻About The Brasserie at Darleys
A relaxed riverside destination for fire-led brasserie cooking. Premium steaks, fresh seafood and seasonal classics, served with an easy, social rhythm.
Dining at The Brasserie is relaxed and unhurried. Dishes are individually priced and served as they're ready, allowing tables to share freely and shape the pace of their meal.
You may choose to enjoy a few small plates, settle in with a main course, or build your meal around premium steaks and seafood, all guided by season and the fire-led kitchen.
Service Pattern
Orders can be taken throughout the meal rather than all at once. Plates arrive when ready, encouraging a natural flow to the table and a more social way of dining.
Reservations are recommended for evenings and weekends, with walk-ins welcomed whenever space allows.
