Chesterfield Open Market is one of the largest open-air markets in the country, held every Monday, Friday and Saturday all year round, plus a Thursday Flea Market that gets bigger every year. This traditional open-air market has been going since at least 1165, when the Sheriff of Derbyshire recorded an account of £1 2s 7d from the market of Chesterfield. Early in the 1220s it outgrew its original site near the Church and moved to where you see it today. New additions to the market programme include the Farmers´ Market on the second Thursday of every month, continental markets and the Chesterfield Arts and Market Festival in October.
