Chesterfield Tourist Information & Gift Shop at Chesterfield Tourist Information Centre
Are you looking for a different or unusual gift? Do you need a leaving present, or a birthday present for someone who used to live in Chesterfield? Are you going to see family or friends overseas and need a special present from Chesterfield?
The Tourist Information Centre Gift Shop sells a range of unique souvenirs and locally produced gifts at prices to suit everyone. There's cut glass engraved with Chesterfield's famous 'Crooked Spire' Church, porcelain trinket boxes with the Borough Seal, china vases, clocks and boxes with pictures of the 'Crooked Spire' and kitchenware featuring Chesterfield, Ashover and Chatsworth.
Scented gifts include candles from Tissington and real Nottingham lace with lavender scented sachet. Other locally produced gifts include pendants and earrings made from pewter, locally turned wood and Chesterfield Football Club souvenirs.
Food is always fun to give and we sell Chesterfield tea, local honey, chutneys and jams made by local chef Nick Buckingham, fudge, toffee and biscuits.
Buy someone a trip down memory lane with books like 'More Memories of Chesterfield', or the 'Chesterfield Miscellany'. Set someone on the road to fitness with a book of short walks or an Ordnance Survey map.
We sell a wide range of pictures, from limited edition prints by local artists Sheila Gill and June Haywood to old picture postcard scenes of Chesterfield and Derbyshire. We also sell photographs, framed scenic views by Allan Harris or prints on canvas by Martin Thompson.
Check out our range of British souvenirs featuring union jacks, red telephone boxes and London buses and there's plenty of choice for the kids from fridge magnets to pens, pencils, Chesterfield bugs, teddy bears, mini handbag purses and chocolate postcards.
Come and visit us - you might find just what you're looking for.
