There is something for everyone to enjoy – from walkabout entertainment to make you laugh through to a workshop where you’ll be able to learn about nature and how to identify animal tracks.
The Summer Saturdays in Chesterfield entertainment programme has been organised by Chesterfield Borough Council and funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
1. Edmund and Hilary Explorers
Major ‘Eddy’ Edward Edmund and Lance Corporal Henry ‘Stinker’ Hilary have one objective: to explore the new world and expand the empire! These two gentlemen explorers dressed in tropical kit, and covered in cobwebs and memories are trying to work out why they are so darn lost and need your help. You can point them in the right direction on Saturday, July 26 at 10.30am, 12noon and 2pm. Photo: Chesterfield Borough Council
2. Wildlife Detectives
How much do you know about wildlife? Put your skills to the test on August 2, from 10am to 3pm, with In:Spire Nature as you explore animal tracks and signs and identify animal poo. Discover woodland wildlife with skulls and nests and get creative with footprint plaster casts, bracelets and bookmarks. Photo: Chesterfield Borough Council
