Chesterfield’s medieval market has proved a great day out down the years.

We’ve had a look back through our archives to bring you these shots from the event over four decades – spot anyone you know?This year’s medieval fun day will instead take place virtually, with talks and videos available throughout the day on the Chesterfield Museum Facebook page.

The event will start with a video that looks back at previous Medieval Fun Days and all the exciting acts over the years including the roaring dragon and the unforgettable court jester.
