A Sense of Chesterfield

‘A Sense of Chesterfield’ will be a new heritage arts trail which will help guide visitors and residents around Chesterfield town centre.

The new tactile heritage trail will be created with new heritage information boards, digital content and public artworks.

There are several organisations that will work together to develop this project, including community groups like the Chesterfield Civic Society, Chesterfield and District Local History Society, Chesterfield Canal Trust and Derbyshire Victoria County History.

Members of the community will also be able to help shape the trail through a series of workshops and visits to schools and community organisations.

The next steps for the project are to appoint experienced freelancers to support the project and an artist to create pieces that will be on display throughout the trail.

Almost £80,000 of funding has been awarded to this project by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, made possible thanks to National Lottery players.
