Chesterfield retailers join forces to promote The Yards with new festival
Vanishing Point Records and Urban Flamingo have joined forces, alongside other retailers in The Yards Chesterfield, to organise Yards Fest 2018 which will take place from the 27th – 29th July.
The free festival, which aims to promote this area of the town, will see many of the independent businesses put on special events and activities alongside live music, DJ performances, childrens games, craft stalls and more. There will also be a BBQ courtesy of Soulville Steakhouse and Hot Roast Cobs from Number 10 Café.
Corey Lavender, Owner of Vanishing Point Records and event organiser, said:-
“The main aim is to promote the area so the public use it more, as I frequently get told that they didn’t know ‘The Yards’ existed. It’s a shame because it is full of independent businesses and fully occupied, it should be a part of town to be proud of.
“We’re excited for Yards Fest 2018 with lots of exciting activities planned and more to be announced soon that we hope will drag people down into our corner of Chesterfield.”
Located in the heart of the town centre the Yards is full of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. From clothes to gifts and from cake making to cake eating, there are plenty of reasons to visit this special part of Chesterfield.
The Yards in Chesterfield’s town centre is also home to a falcon and a puppy, installed as part of the Chesterfield Cultural Renaissance project.
