That crooked spire of St Mary’s, leaning just a little more each year, is still whispering secrets from 1362. You’ll spot it before you even reach the town centre.
But with so much happening, from Monday markets to new sculptures at Horn’s Bridge Island, it’s easy to miss what truly matters, buried under social media noise and endless scrolling.
We do the searching for you. Every week, we bring Chesterfield’s real heartbeat, the hidden cafés in The Shambles, fishing lakes at Poolsbrook Country Park, or a weekend event no one else is telling you about, straight to your inbox.
No effort. Just what's worth knowing.
