There are some great things to look forward to for the rest of 2025 as the upcoming event programme for Chesterfield is unveiled.
With new and exciting events planned and an expanded Christmas offering there are lots of great things for the whole family to enjoy when visiting the town centre.
Over the summer months Chesterfield Borough Council’s little and often programme will be returning – bringing street entertainers, musicians and performers to roam the town centre and entertain visitors.
On Saturday 27 September Chesterfield will be taking a trip back to the Jurassic period as dinosaurs take over the market. Including interactive shows in the market square and giant roaming dinosaurs, it’s a fantastic event for the whole family to enjoy.
Christmas this year will include the popular Switch-on event on Sunday 23 November, there will be street entertainment throughout the town centre, but due to the Revitalising the Heart of Chesterfield works in New Square the stage show will be outside the Town Hall on Rose Hill this year.
Santa’s Grotto will be returning to the Assembly Rooms and there will be street entertainment on weekends building up to Christmas. The popular Winter Window Trail which debuted last year will also be returning.
Councillor Kate Sarvent, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for town centres and visitor economy, said: “We’ve put together a fantastic programme of events that offer something for everyone to enjoy and we hope that this will help encourage more people to visit the town centre and support local businesses.
“There are some new events for this year and the return of some popular events from previous years. We’ll be sharing more details about these fantastic events over the coming months, and I’d encourage everyone to support them.”
More details about these events will be shared on the council’s website and social media pages over the next few months.
