6 Hidden Gems Things to do in Chesterfield That You Shouldn't Miss
Chesterfield is a market town and borough in Derbyshire, England. It lies 24 miles (39 km) north of Derby and 11 miles (18 km) south of Sheffield at the confluence of the rivers Rother and Hipper. Including Whittington, Brimington and Staveley it had a population of about 103,800 in 2011, making it the second largest town in the ceremonial county after Derby. Archaeologists trace it back to a Roman fort built in the 1st century AD, but soon abandoned. Later an Anglo-Saxon village developed. The name derives from the Old English ceaster (a Roman fort) and feld (grazing land). It has a street market of some 250 stalls three days a week. The town sits on a coalfield, which was economically important until the 1980s. Little visual evidence of mining remains. The best-known landmark is the Church of St Mary and All Saints with its crooked spire, originally built in the 14th century.

Stag didn't know where we were going. The swat team guys when we got there made our stag feel very welcome, Putting him in a stress position for 15 minutes making him hold a grenade and having a gun held to his head, and getting shouted at. Everyone stayed in character the whole time, and the zombies put in alot of effort running after us for 3 hours. Running round an abandoned building is fun, running around a building with your mates with guns is even more fun, then chuck in some zombies chasing you and some intense moments it's awesome fun. Get split up from your team and find yourself cornered with no where to go. Scary. It was the venue in Leicester we went to.. Make sure you upgrade your gun. And wear decent footwear Great fun thanks again guys

Nuthatches, flycatchers and woodpeckers can be seen and heard as they flit among the canopy and kingfishers and mandarin ducks can be spotted around the waters edge. The site is accessible all year round. Car parking There are three small car parks along the main entrance road to the Linacre Reservoirs. Car parking at Linacre costs £1.00 for up to two hours and £2.50 for the day. An annual parking permit for up to two cars costs £25.00.

A lovely walk around the Linacre Reservoir, a fairly long walk so make sure you wear good footwear. Very peaceful place and would recommend to friends and family. Car parking is near and is fairly priced.

It was my birthday on Sunday 31st January – three score years and ten. As family and friends can’t get together, I arranged for around 30 meals to be provided around the country – around the world – to be delivered / collected between 12 and 12.30. My grateful thanks to Alison at THE CRISPIN INN ASHOVER; Chris at The Spoons and Forks, Mold; Nikki at The Three Cottages, Hasland; Heidi Waterfield in Market Harborough; Treats Café in Weston-Super-Mare; other suppliers in Narborough and the Farmer’s Market in Hasting (New Zealand) for their most helpful, courteous and understanding co-operation in making this happen during a time when people can’t get together. All excellent food and all helped family and friends to be together at a ‘virtual’ birthday party. If you have a (special) birthday coming up and you want to arrange something ‘special’ at this time, please speak to these lovely lovely people. They too are special, and they too miss the regular contact with their customers. Thank you each. You have made my day and brought a smile to many faces today. At the moment, being able to do that is just MAGIC!
