Hospitality is full opening back up – after weeks of only being able to serve customers outside, huddling over soggy pints – people are now able to eat and drink indoors.
It comes after the Prime Minister gave the green light on Friday, May 14, for indoor socialising and dining to go ahead along with opening up entertainment venues such as cinemas and theatres from today.
Take a look as Chesterfield residents enjoy their new-found freedoms at some of the town’s most loved premises.
