Free activities across Chesterfield parks


Lots of free exciting activities continue in parks across Chesterfield this summer.

Open to children from ages four to fourteen there are multisport sessions, tennis taster sessions and a selection of other workshops including circus skills and forest school activities such as exploring a nature discovery table, bug hunts and nature arts and crafts.

The sessions are funded through the Government backed Holiday Activity Fund.

Councillor Jonathan Davies, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “It’s great to be able to offer such a wide range of free activities for children across the entire borough. The six-week holidays can be difficult for many families particularly with the rising cost of living, so I hope these sessions will help ensure that every child in Chesterfield can make memories this summer.”

Activities are planned in Poolsbrook Recreation Ground, Loundsley Green Park, Barrow Hill Park, Mastin Moor Park, Highfield Park, King George V Playing Field, Thistle Park, Brearley Park, Ringwood Park, Inkersall Green Park, Duckmanton (East Crescent) and Dunston Park.


All activities are outdoors and children should be accompanied by an adult and be prepared for any weather conditions.

Priority booking is given to children on free school meals through the Holiday Activities Fund.
