Knife Angel

Knife Angel Chesterfield

Please note the Knife Angel is longer in the Chesterfield town centre. The sculpture was taken away the am of Tuesday 26th October.

Visit the famous ‘Knife Angel’ sculpture from Monday 4th October – Tuesday 26th October based at Rykneld Square (near the Visitor Information Centre) in Chesterfield town centre.

The sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful memorial designed to celebrate those lives who have been lost through these violent and thoughtless actions.

Created in collaboration with all 43 police forces, the Home Office, Anti-violence groups and hundreds of families who have been affected by knife crime, the monument is a symbol of the nation’s intolerance to violence and aggression.

It was created by the British Ironwork Centre, by sculptor Alfie Bradley to highlight the impact knife crime has on people, families and communities.

In support of the visit Chesterfield is backing a number of events including: a ‘drop the knife’ performance held at Spring Well High School by the Salt Mine production company, several public engagement sessions at the Knife Angel and a knife disposal bin will be at the monument on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday between 11am and 2pm.
