Vicar Lane to show sporting action live on the big screen throughout the summer
Vicar Lane Shopping Centre in the heart of Chesterfield is inviting visitors to enjoy some of the big sporting action live on the big screen this summer.
The Centre has launched Summer in the Square, providing shoppers to take a break, sit back and relax amid a busy day shopping and view the day’s big sporting events, along with a range of other fun activities.
Visitors will be able to pull up a Vicar Lane deck chair on the outdoor lawn in St James’ Square and watch Wimbledon broadcast live until 10th July. The Commonwealth Games will then be shown live from Birmingham from 28th July – 8th August.
Shoppers and visitors are also being encouraged to bring family along and take advantage of the giant games around the square for everyone to get involved with.
There games include giant chess, connect 4, table tennis and more. All the games are available to play for free, and booking isn’t required.
Sarah Bowler from Vicar Lane said: “After the success of our Jubilee weekend where we saw so many people using the area to relax and play games – we are delighted that we can extend our outdoor space for the warmer weather and invite people back to catch all of the sporting events that run through until early August. It certainly feels like a summer to remember this year and we are delighted to be part of that for our visitors and their families”.
The Shopping Centre is home to a plethora of well-known national brands and retailers, along with a great range of popular and unique independent shops and cafes. Find out more about the centre at: https://www.chesterfield.co.uk/visiting/shopping/chesterfield-town-centre/vicar-lane-shopping-centre/
