A HISTORY LESSON WHILE ON STAYCATION

By S J Raman, 29/06/2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has us all huddled at home like cavemen, washing our hands every 2 hours (NOT like cavemen!), and wearing masks not usually seen outside of surgical wards.

For the vast majority of people, this is a completely unprecedented situation. Sure, we’ve all read about pandemics before - the black plague in the 1300’s, influenza in 1918. Perhaps some of us remember the more recent ones, such as the “swine flu” outbreak in 2009.

But a global pandemic of this scale is truly unprecedented for most of us. Being forced to stay at home, only going out for necessities, the complete shut- down of “normal life” as we know it, all of this is very new and very scary.

However, is there a lesson we can learn from history here? This isn’t the first time humanity has come up against an invisible enemy that wreaks havoc, so perhaps rewinding the clock might yield us some valuable knowledge?

That is where the quaint, unsuspecting village of Eyam in the Peak District, comes into the picture.

Eyam is located less than 10 miles from our holiday home. It is home to the Eyam Museum, that narrates the fascinating story of a plague outbreak in 1665, and how courageous and forward thinking the populace was in dealing with it.

Between the first death and the last, the people living in Eyam set a lasting example of self-sacrifice by sealing off the entire village from the surrounding areas to stop the plague from spreading.

Centuries before the miracle of antibiotics and modern medicine, the tale of how hundreds of people stepped up to prevent other communities from suffering at the hands of a deadly virus is truly inspirational, and one that we can certainly learn from in these troubling times.

The Eyam Museum tells this fascinating tale, and the history of Eyam itself, and it is located on Hawkhill Road, Eyam, 9.6 miles from Induja. Here is a link for updated information -https://www.eyam-museum.org.uk/news

Half Term in the Peak District

Are you looking for half term plans? We still have some availability at Induja and there is plenty going on in and around Chesterfield.

Chatsworth House – only 10 miles from Induja – are holding a spooky special event for the kids, their Halloween Hoot!

Perfect for kids and adults, their Halloween festival lasts from 26th October to 3rd November, featuring an array of autumnal antics such as a hidden pumpkin hunt, a creepy collection trail featuring horrors from the vaults, an abandoned tunnel and a storytelling circle in the garden.

There is also the Fright Flight into Warlock Wood, where you will find some ghoulish characters and get the chance to scare them off with water! Creepy crafts, facepainting and reptile handling are also all available for your little monsters to try!

Chatsworth is also hosting The Big Draw Festival, encouraging kids (and big kids) to explore drawing for relaxation. Be inspired by the beauty of Chatsworth in autumn and create something – anything you like – between 28th and 31st October.

Chesterfield itself has plenty to explore – the famous and intriguing ‘Crooked Spire’ takes pride of place in the town centre. With a theatre, markets and also Chesterfield Museum to check out, there is plenty to keep you interested!
Heading further away are the Derbyshire gems of Hardwick Hall, Bolsover Castle and Renishaw Hall.

Our property sleeps up to 10 people and furry friends are more than welcome. Why not try something new and visit the Peak District this Halloween?

All bookings are taken through Sykes Cottages, head to our page for the link.

Are you tired of the same Christmas party routine every year? Sitting at one of dozens of tables in a huge venue alongside people you don’t know, with the uninspiring meal, unable to talk to your colleagues over the noise of other tables, before embarking on the expedition that is the taxi queue just to make your way home?

It doesn’t have to be this way. Induja are proud to present a Christmas party concept with a difference. Our country retreat on the edge of the Peak District is available to hire for the perfect, homely Christmas celebration.

Show your colleagues how much you appreciate them by embracing a different approach to celebrating the festive season: an intimate, cosy and welcoming atmosphere where you can make yourself at home!

Here at our cottage you can enjoy:
• Dining in our open-plan area
• A wonderful hand-prepared meal, courtesy of our caterers
• Freedom to spend your time as you wish – perhaps spend longer at dinner, or throwing your best shapes in the kitchen!
• No noisy surroundings or struggling to hear conversation
• A local pub on the doorstep for after-meal drinks
• No battle for taxis because the cottage sleeps ten people – the journey home is just a few short steps!

Do something different this year and book your Christmas party getaway with Induja. We still have availability for select Thursdays and weekend days during the festive period. For more details please contact Catherine on 0114 204 1545.
