Chair’s Blog: Show your love for the town this Valentine’s Day
As Chair of Destination Chesterfield, I’ve always found joy in championing the local gems that make our town unique, such as the picturesque Crooked Spire or the stunning scenery which can be found in abundance around the local area.
With Valentine’s Day approaching and love well and truly in the air, now is as good a time as any to support the beating heart of Chesterfield… Of course, I’m speaking about our beloved local retailers and food and drink businesses. There are plenty of ways in which you can celebrate your love for those closest to you, whilst also embracing the unique charm that lies within our town.
Stroll through the quaint streets of Chesterfield, and you’ll discover an array of independent retailers. From handmade crafts to bespoke jewellery or the perfect bouquet, our local shops offer treasures you won’t find anywhere else. No Valentine’s Day is complete without a touch of sweetness. Skip the generic chocolates and head to our local producers for treats that are made with passion and care.
Our town also boasts a delightful independent culinary scene, and what better way to celebrate your love than by indulging in a romantic meal at one of Chesterfield’s finest eateries? Local restaurants are at the forefront of our community, and they’re ready to make your Valentine’s Day unforgettable.
If you’re looking to spend some quality time with the person you love, Chesterfield’s parks and scenic spots provide a backdrop for leisurely strolls, creating a calm atmosphere for heartfelt connections in our picturesque town. Why not treat them to an evening of entertainment by catching the latest show at our theatres? And if you’re lucky enough to get a night away from the kids, maybe you could book into one of Chesterfield’s luxurious hotels and spas for a perfect romantic break.
