CHESTERFIELD

We explore Chesterfield in Derbyshire, which is a town of great character. In this video we take a look around Chesterfield Town Centre from the crooked spire to the open air market and along to the Winding Wheel theatre
Take a day in Chesterfield itself to find out how the 'Crooked Spire' got its twist. Or go bargain hunting on Chesterfield Market every Monday, Friday or Saturday. Get a taste of history at Chesterfield Museum or spend an evening at the Theatre.
Chesterfield has a fabulous offer for businesses, residents and visitors alike. Chesterfield is far more than a historic market town in Derbyshire with an iconic Crooked Spire.
Visit Chesterfield for a great day out or to stay. The town is famous for its 800 year-old open air market and the unique and unusual Crooked Spire Church. A step out of town brings you to the rugged beauty of the Peak District and the allure of Chatsworth.
Come to the Chesterfield Area of Derbyshire where you're sure of a friendly welcome and a wide range of things to do.
Take a short break and explore the area - Chatsworth, Hardwick Hall, Bolsover Castle, Renishaw Hall and Gardens and the Peak District are just a few of the things to see in this part of Derbyshire.
Who knows what you will find at Chesterfield’s open air market, one of the oldest markets in the country. You can pick up pots to potatoes, fabric to flowers, clothes to crafts. Rummage among the stalls on one of the largest Flea Markets in the UK and, who knows, you might discover a priceless antique in disguise!
Don’t miss the Chesterfield Artisan Market on the last Sunday of the month where you can find the finest artisan market traders selling authentic goods with the emphasis on all that is local, ethical and original.
If it’s cold outside, or even if it isn’t, call at Chesterfield Market Hall to find old fashioned sweets at Auntie Dot’s, the Fruit and Nut stall which does just what it says on the tin and lots more. Have coffee and a cake at the Market Café before you leave.
Staying in Chesterfield there’s the St Thomas’ Church at Brampton food market on the first Saturday of the month, where local small businesses come and sell their delicious produce.

A Quiet Market Town, but it has all you need. I moved from Sheffield nearly 50 yrs ago when I first married & have NEVER regretted it.

[@johnlovell9310]

Born and bred here in Chesterfield. You did justice to my beloved town, although there were many places of interest you didn't cover. Having said that I appreciate you taking time to show the ppl our history. There are other VIPs born in town like ex darts World champ John Lowe and John Hurt who proudly says " I was born within the shadow of the crooked spire" . A great video, well done!

[@dehewitt341]

I remember many times while in a train seeing the twisty spire roof fly by. I believe I went to the town centre once and marveled on how many Tudor style buildings there were! Thanks again for the chance to take a trip down memory lane :)

Chesterfield my home town. My late Dad was a chorister at The Crooked Spire church. Saint Mary and all Saints. My Great grandparents were married there.. On my mums side of the family. My grandparents on my dad's side were landlord and landlady at the market hotel in Chesterfield and the Rectory then the Crooked Spire public houses in the 1950's and 1960's.

[@alanmarriott887]

Chesterfield is one of our favourite places to visit, and it's not always so quiet 😁

[@lesleyfrench4182]

I moved from Basildon in Essex to Chesterfield in 1986. No regrets, the train can take you to bigger cities or places if you want a day or two where its livelier. In Chesterfield people are friendly and caring. A great place to live.This was obviously filmed on a non market day. It does get busier. Thursday Market its always packed.

[@Dave-vs9ff]

[@roykennie92]

Hi there, as a local I wonder what day of the week you filmed? It was very quiet but you missed the new shopping area, perhaps everyone was there! I noticed that the video was over exposed, making it very hard to read the information. I enjoy your little outings and would suggest you visit some of the peak district villages - maybe Castleton or Bakewell? Keep up the good work.

[@lizziedaff1862]

You picked a very quiet day. There's usually lots of hustle and bustle in Chesterfield. Especially market days.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yeah I missed Market day! Will have to go back and do it again!

[@dlittlester]

I enjoy all your walks, and this was no exception. Thank you very much!

[@davehanson7764]

Great video we was there last weekend, I lived in Chesterfield from 1980 to 1993 and worked at the abttoir on Hipper Street South for many years ( where Next and the closed Debenhams now stand ) I was very surprised how the town has changed, the former Cooperative building is now a Premier Inn on the top 2 floors, the Wetherspoons at the end of the market was tbe former Portland Hotel which was the original Market Station Hotel with the large Market Station next door ( which is hard to believe a large Station exsited there ) the heavy industry steel fabrication and casting, mines, and huge chemical plants now all long gone, Chesterfield is quiet, not the bustling busy town I remember.

[@iriswaterford8881]

Thank you Dave, you've helped me picture the place. So many different styles/eras of buildings. Glad that the buildings are still being used.

[@minkgin3370]

My mum was born & bred here & I think the town is better for there not being the small industrial places there used to be. Now it’s a true Country Market Town. Also, my mum was taught the spire was built with green timber back in the day & as the wood dried it twisted. There’s also a local saying….The first time a Virgin is married in the church then the spire will straighten.😄 I loved the tour, Thanks, “Mi Duck”.

Vicar Lane is the main shopping area that you missed. The Shambles isn't what it once was, but still nice. The Town Hall is quite famous and a smaller version of Stormont. Be sure to visit Queens Park too. Great video by the way 👏

I was surprised that you didn’t film the Shambles with a very very old pub and it is allegedly a stopping place for the Knights Templar’s, it just reeks history.

[@BinManSays87]

I'm local to chesterfield and did carpentry and joinery there and the church is bent because the French joiners who built it didn't second season the timber in the spires joists and as they acclimatized the entire spire twisted into that shape. At least that's what I learnt in college anyway
