What to do and see in Chesterfield, England: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
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.

Everybody has seen the films and played the games, no be in them! Its time to find out what you will do when the Zombie Apocalypse arrives. Battle the flesh eating undead with realistic weapons as you work your way through your objectives and work with your teamates inside a 4 story, 90,000sq meter abandoned warehouse.

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

Chesterfield based popular Rock Music Themed Bar and Grill with Live Music at Weekends. Amazing home made burgers and more, with plenty of Vegan options on the menu. Large beer garden and a great cocktail menu to sample amongst all the usual bar offerings. Open lunchtimes and evenings.
Reviewed By Mowgli84
Since being under new management, The County has stayed true to it's roots as a venue for live music, while creating a warm, welcoming environment to catch up with friends. It's clear a lot of thought has gone in to every detail from the music memorabilia on display, to the ever-increasing range of drinks on offer behind the bar. For a town centre pub, it manages to feel like a local. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you love music, and fancy something a bit different from the usual bars in town.

The ambiance of the pod is perfect for an experience away from the stresses of everyday life and a brilliant work out. The warmth and essential oil fragrances help you to relax, warm up and stretch deeper, as well as working up a sweat, if you choose to. You can work as hard or easy as you want to, because options are provided in every class. Amy and her team are dedicated and imaginative instructors. No special equipment is required. You can use a large towel to put on the mats provided in the pod, a small one to mop the sweat and a bottle of water. You can buy a non-slip hot pod mat there as yoga - related merchandise is also available at competitive prices. Coconut water is available to buy from the fridge too. The whole experience is brilliant and amazing value for money. I recommend a visit to Hotpod Yoga at Chesterfield as part of your New Year resolutions. .

10. The Parish Church of St Mary and All Saints

From J Boy of Derby The largest church in Derbyshire and also one of the most impressive. It's more like a cathedral than an ordinary parish church. Magnificent stained glass windows each with there own story, many tombs and memorial plaques are on display. This time of the year is the annual Christmas tree festival, a most impressive display with over a hundred trees from various organisations across the town and surrounding area. It's an impressive display trees lit up against the background of this beautiful church, with a pianist to add to the atmosphere. At certain times of the year in the afternoon it's possible to climb with a guide to the top if the tower and see for first hand the famous spire that makes the town so famous. Well worth the climb, an interesting commentary is given by the guide.
