Come to Chesterfield, where you're sure of a great day out. Chesterfield is the first town in the East Midlands to receive the Coach Friendly Award from the Confederation of Passenger Transport because of the welcome we offer to coach drivers and passengers.

Chesterfield also won the Coach Friendly Town of the Year 2013 in the Coach Tourism Awards.

Take a day in the town to find out how the Crooked Spire got its twist, or go bargain hunting on Chesterfield Market. Have a rummage around the Thursday flea market, call in at the museum or explore the town centre with the free audio trail.

Stay overnight – Chatsworth, Hardwick Hall, Renishaw Hall and Gardens and Bolsover Castle are just a few of the things you’ll find just a short drive away. Check out what’s on at the Pomegranate Theatre and the Winding Wheel Theatre.

Find all the information you need to make the most of your visit to Chesterfield, including suggested itineraries on the Visit Chesterfield website. 

Let us take the hassle out of booking your day, whether you want a guided walk of the town, overnight accommodation, a trip up the Crooked Spire or just free coach parking for the day. Why not stop off in Chesterfield for lunch, morning coffee or afternoon tea? We have plenty of coffee shops and lunch restaurants to choose from.

Coach parking

Coach parking at Chesterfield Coach Station is free, but please order your parking permit in advance as we only have four coach bays available.

Ordering a coach parking permit is simple through our online ticket booking system, just select the date you require and follow the checkout process. A permit will be emailed to you which you need to print and display on arrival.

If you are booking on the same day as your visit and can't print off your permit, please make sure you display your handwritten permit number (found under the QR code on the permit email).

Coach drivers are welcome in Chesterfield - the coach station has a rest room with drinks and snacks machines, a water cooler, fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave. Just ask the staff at the coach station to give you access.
