The Chesterfield Arts Centre

The first single step in this journey of a thousand miles seems to be taken: the CAAF group are meeting with the Feasibility Study consultant. They are showing him the results of a social consultation that happened last month at Chesterfield Market Festival. We have our photo with the Lord Mayor!


We also have absolutely wonderful support from the public, as seen in their comments, made with humour, earnest interest, hopefulness and encouragement.

We feel that the many hours of dawn meetings at Shirley's house, were well worth the trouble. See here:

And of course Shirley's fire-red locks were captured in the course of the day for all to admire:

With Half term raging, parents and children took to the bustling market lanes of the town centre and some brave souls took their crayons and paper and created images of the old buildings, their vision of the old town, of what they know and love, and of what they would like to see.

There were prizes and there were good laughs! But above all, there was consensus: WE WANT AN ARTS CENTRE FOR CHESTERFIELD. Marvellous!
