What's Dronfield Like For Nightlife?

Recommended Posts

Oh dear Daverity... When I read the title of this thread I had to laugh... Dronfield is a dire little town. Comparing the nightlife of Dronny to the nightlife of Liverpool is like comparing a sunday league team to Liverpool FC, so I think you're in for a bit of a culture shock.

 

 

I dont think anybody on here has bragged about dronfields nightlife , yeah its nothing great its just your normal small town nightlife just pubs ect but i think your wrong to say its a dire little town , what do you base that on ???? It certainy aint rough , it certainly aint run down and it certainly aint full of townie scrubbers.

 

I catch the bus into sheffield to meet and greet people and a taxi back , theres nothing wrong with that.

Weve mentioned having a look at the south of the city but at the end of the day you'd still have to catch buses and taxis to go places

Sorry to offend Snakey... But you obviously enjoy living in Dronfield so who care's what I think eh? ;)

 

I grew up in Dronny so that what I've based my comments on. It was a lovely place to spend my formative years, but far too dull to waste any adult time on. I meant dire in terms of entertainment only though - as I said, the people of N Derbyshire are generally a nice bunch.

 

And I'm well aware that it "aint roungh... aint run down and aint full of townie scrubbers". But I thought we were supposed to be commenting on the nightlife, not neighbourhoods???

There used to be the night club Climax but I think that might have closed. Other than that there are a few pubs scattered around. Some of them are ok.

its shut, it opened, it shut, it opened.

 

and it was horrible and skanky! theres plenty of pubs..but if you want anything a bit more lively then get to sheffield.

 

 

i lived in dronfield from ages 7-23 and its a nice place to live...but its prob a place you would more like to retire to then to party at. travel into sheffield its easier

 

oh and dont know if its changed but the thompson travel buses are the most friendly drivers EVER!! they even used to wake me up at my stop! class

A scouser thinks he's too good for Dronfield... classic.

As nice as Dronfield?? Only person who's slagging Dronfield, major style, I believe is you in this conversation. Read my post, I was slagging you, personally, looking at most of the posts, was looking forward to meeting people there.

If it's so bad put your house on the market and eh who knows a Scouser may buy it off you! Where you gonna go though......well 400k might buy you a 3 bed detached in Woolton or Sefton, Crosby, Southport,Hale Village,Aigburth etc etc etc:hihi:

Okay Snakey. You're right. Maybe calling it 'dire' was a bit extreme, I had a lot of fun as a child in Dronny. It's just not much of a place to go out in.

 

I also find that when I go back to visit family, a lot of people seem to have quite a "small town" mentality. Most of the people I went to primary school with are still hanging around, doing the same old stuff, going to the same old places, and not really experiencing all they could experience in life.

 

There's a big wide world out there!

 

Do you find this to be true of the Dronny peeps you know, or not?

Dronny's fine if you know lots of people but if not you're better off in Sheffield, you can commute easily to Chesterfield and there's a lot more to do

When I was a little gilr and lived in Dronfield Woodhouse I used to play out with a boy called 'Cowpat'. That wouldn't be you, by any chance, would it Cowpie???
