Step into the past (with a drink in hand) on one of The Great Historic Pub Tours. These guided walks blend genuine local history with a healthy dose of humour, stopping off at some of the town’s most atmospheric pubs along the way – with new pubs added for 2026.

It’s not your average night out, and that’s exactly the point!

The twisted history of many Chesterfield pubs seems to include a ghost story or two. From gruesome murders to tragic fires, the stories behind the hauntings will unfold on this new tour. Each story is delivered in person by your blind tour guide, Shaun Stevenson – he sees the world very differently!

Fortunately, there is an opportunity to purchase a stiff drink on a regular basis during the tour, as you will stop at some of the pubs still operating. All told, the tour takes around five hours but covers a distance of less than a mile, and is largely dog-friendly.
