Chesterfield Local Events and Venues

I’m not quite a gentleman of leisure but I do like get out and about so I gathered online resources about events and venues local to Chesterfield for for me to browse through. Somebody else may benefit from this collection, but bear in mind, the list is tailored somewhat to my tastes. I may have written about specific local venues and events in the Outdoors section, or you can browse via tags such as chesterfield or peak district.
