Museum recreates medieval town of Cestrefeld

Visitors to Chesterfield Museum are invited to learn about the town’s medieval past in a new exhibition.

Cestrefeld – Medieval Town is an opportunity to discover how the local medieval community lived, handle replica objects and enjoy playing some popular games of the period.

Councillor Amanda Serjeant, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for town centre and visitor economy said:

“Chesterfield was a thriving town in the middle ages and this exhibition allows our visitors to find out what life was like for people who lived in the town during that period.

“With activities suitable for all ages, it’s ideal for families to visit and learn together.”

Cestrefeld – Medieval Town runs at Chesterfield Museum from Saturday 14 May until Saturday 2 July. The museum is open each Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm and admission is free.
