Chesterfield Arts and Market Festival at Chesterfield Market
Chesterfield Festival, sponsored by Printability, brings a whole host of events to the local scene including concerts in the 'Crooked Spire' Church, a Continental market, Chesterfield's famous general markets, a beer festival, the popular Garden of Light, internationally known performers and lots, lots more.
There's also plenty for the kids to do, including poetry shows, ghost walks, living history at the Museum and tours up the Tower of the 'Crooked Spire' Church. Then there's the Festival finale - the Lantern Parade from the 'Crooked Spire' Church to the Garden of Light on the last night of the Festival.
Programmes available in August from Chesterfield Tourist Information Centre, or download a copy from the website. Online booking also available.
