The bar will be open six days a week from November 29 until Christmas Eve between the hours of 10am and 10pm (midnight at the weekend).

Shaun Brown, Vicar Lane centre manager, said: "We're really excited to welcome the Cap and Whippet to Vicar Lane this festive season.

"The dog-friendly bar will offer a thirst-quenching drink to warm the cockles in the approach to Christmas, as well as providing a great venue for friends, colleagues and their dogs to enjoy after work drinks or a night out in Chesterfield."
