Chesterfield Christmas Market and Christmas Tree Festival

I wanted to take advantage of the sunny weather and get out walking in  the Peak District today but last night my right knee started aching a bit and so I thought it would be better to visit the Christmas Market at Chesterfield.

Well, there wasn't really a Christmas market at all, and very little sign of any seasonal deecorations in the town centre apart from a large marquee, which wasn't open, so I don't know what was inside.





















Inside the indoor shopping centre I took a photograph of a giant reindeer, although at the time I thought it was a rabbit...I didn't realise until I got home and looked at the photograph.







The Christmas Tree Festival inside the church was certainly the highlight of the day: it was a lovely seasonal atmosphere and there was even a pianist playing carols.




The final photo features what I always associate Chesterfield with, its rows of half-timbered black and buildings - they're not ancient though, just over a hundred years old I think.
