The popular 1940s Market is set to return to Chesterfield this spring – bringing a range of free entertainment to the town centre for the whole family to enjoy.
The action-packed market will be returning on Thursday 11 April 2024, transporting the town centre back to the 1940s with a variety of music, street performance and fancy dress.
Visitors can also expect to see the return of the replica spitfire – a popular attraction at previous events.
Organised by Chesterfield Borough Council, the event will happen alongside the popular weekly Thursday flea market.
The date has been brought forward from the autumn to allow for the start of town centre regeneration work later in the year, as part of the multi-million pound Regenerating the Heart of Chesterfield project.
More information about the event plans and entertainment will be shared closer to the time. Keep checking the council’s website and social media channels for details.
Councillor Kate Sarvent, cabinet member for town centres and visitor economy, said: “The 1940s Market is enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. There are not too many places you can go to see a range of free street entertainment like we have on offer here.
“Residents and visitors enjoyed the 1940s Market that took place in November last year, so we’re really pleased that we don’t have to wait long for its return.
“We encourage you to put the date in your diary early so you don’t miss out.”
