The Destination Chesterfield chair presents his
monthly update for Twist magazine readers
A
S the warmth of summer draws near, it's time to start
planning some exciting adventures for your family.
Whilst I can’t promise the sun will be shining all the time, I
am certain there is lots of fun to be had in our town.
This month sees the fourth instalment of the iconic Peddler
Market in Chesterfield town centre on the 17th and 18th
May.
I’m delighted that this great event has made itself right at
home in New Square. If you’ve not been yet, make sure you
head along and try some delicious food and drink.
At the March event, visitors got their hands on cookies,
cheesecakes, pizza, Korean food and much more.
18th May will also see the Chesterfield Craft and Makers
Market arriving back in town, with plenty of opportunities for
you to pick up unique products and gifts from local
independents.
‘Chesterfield is bursting with
excitement and adventure for
families of all shapes and sizes’
I would also highly recommend a leisurely journey along the
picturesque Chesterfield Canal, as the special Canal Cruises
are back in full swing. Gather the family and hop aboard for a
relaxing cruise through stunning scenery.
Look out for the Fish and Chips Special cruises too, taking
place on selected dates – a perfect setting for a meal with
family or friends.
We can’t talk about the wonderful events happening this May
without mentioning the fabulous Rail Ale Festival at Barrow Hill
Roundhouse.
The annual celebration will give you or a loved one the
chance to discover a vast array of real ales, craft beers, and
refreshing beverages to sample.
The event always promises some fantastic entertainment, too.
Rock music fans will love pumping their fists and stamping their
feet to a tribute to the world-famous AC/DC at the ‘Rail Ale
Rock Night’ on Thursday, 16th May.
My final pick for the month is one for families who love the
great outdoors. Lace up your walking shoes and join in the fun
at the Chesterfield Area Walking Festival.
Choose from a variety of guided walks from the 11th-19th May,
catering to all ages and abilities, ranging from leisurely strolls
to more challenging hikes.
Chesterfield is bursting with excitement and adventure for
families of all shapes and sizes. So, mark your calendars, pack
a picnic, and get ready to create unforgettable memories
together at these fabulous events.
I’m looking forward to keeping you updated on all the
fantastic activities coming to our town this summer in the
coming months, so you can make it one to remember in our
beautiful town of Chesterfield.
