Painting workshops run by Sheffield-based artists take place at the town hall complex on weekday evenings; these sessions include mixed media collage and printmaking using materials provided. Electrical installation taster courses are held Tuesday nights at the former textile mill site now used for vocational training through Chesterfield College's engineering department.

Families can attend weekly story time events hosted at St Mary's Community Centre, which include sensory-friendly elements and sign language interpretation during peak times. Autism-spectrum support clubs meet every Thursday morning in the Chesterfield Library’s quiet zone, initiatives backed by Derbyshire County Council for accessibility since 2024.

Live music takes place at The Old Market Hall on Fridays with singer-songwriter nights selected via open call from local arts officers. Full band performances occur at the Chesterfield Theatre Club every Saturday evening in May and June, with tickets priced between £8 and £14.

Comedy nights draw talent from regional finals of BBC Radio Sheffield’s National Comedy Challenge; these happen on Wednesdays at The Plough pub. Collaborative jam sessions for musicians take place monthly across rotating public spaces including the Market Hall courtyard and Eastside Community Hub, often supported by Derbyshire Music Trust.
