Heart of Chesterfield

Chesterfield town centre’s exciting transformation has begun, with refurbishment plans taking place and completed across several key sites.

The look, feel and flow of the town’s main public spaces and the connections between them are being revitalised as a result of Chesterfield securing £20 million from the government’s Levelling Up Fund.

The works will include a revamped marketplace, alongside a refurbished cultural offering at the Stephenson Memorial Hall.

Space is now available for businesses in the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors to add to our visitor offer in the town.

Over the coming years, the town centre will be further transformed through developments including Chesterfield Waterside, the delivery of the Chesterfield Town Centre Masterplan and the Chesterfield Station Masterplan.

There are a range of opportunities available for investment including capital investment, residential, office, end-user occupiers and leisure and hotel operators.

Chesterfield is a sub-regional service centre for North Derbyshire, it has a great town centre that is steeped in history with a historic market but that is balanced by new investments and opportunities.
