Visit our town for a day of exploring or use it as a base to stay. We’re located in the heart of England, with excellent road, rail, and air links. We’re famous for our open-air markets and the unique and unusual Crooked Spire.
We’re a town to experience. Have you ever gazed through a telescope at the night sky, or walked with an alpaca? You can discover our rich heritage through stately homes, a castle and the UK’s last surviving operational railway roundhouse.
No matter the time of year you visit, you’ll soon find yourself immersed in our culture. We’re proud of our vibrant calendar of events and festivals. Look out for the much-loved 1940s Market, Rail Ale Festival, Chesterfield Children’s Festival, BRM Festival of Cricket, Chesterfield Pride, Festival of Christmas Trees and Christmas Lights Switch On. We’re always adding exciting new events each year.
You can’t miss our beautiful outdoor spaces. Take a walk through the picturesque Queen’s Park, complete with a ride on the miniature train. Chesterfield Canal is a tranquil escape for cycling, paddlesports or relaxing on a themed cruise.
Stroll through our lively town centre, where vibrant shopping areas are full of energy and colour. Our friendly independent retailers and market traders are always happy to help, offering a personal and welcoming shopping experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to Chesterfield.
