    Local people and visitors to Chesterfield can enjoy themselves during the Easter holidays at the annual 1940s market on its new date in April.

    Visitors can enjoy 40s music, entertainment, exhibits and meet the stall holders in period dress.

    Kalamazoo dance band will once again be back by popular demand performing throughout the day in New Square. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes and join in the fun!

    The weekly flea market will take place in the market place with traders in 1940s costume. There will be a competition for the best dressed stall and visitors are encouraged to get into the 40s spirit by dressing in period costumes.

    Entertainment includes a variety of 1940s singers all around the town centre as well as an escapologist. There will also be a display of classic cars, a vintage fire engine and, star of the show, a full-size replica spitfire.

    Chesterfield Museum staff will also be attending in 1940s costume with handling objects from their WW2 education box, and other activities for children to enjoy.

    There will be lots to see for all the family.
