Intro Hi
Welcome to the Autumn edition of S40 Local.
Some of the great local businesses featured this month include; M's Gallery, Ingmans & Son, Derbyshire Business Events and Westbrook Nutrition. And thanks to Amanda Haran for taking the time to talk to me about something called flax, a plant I knew so little about but has been such an important part of our local industrial heritage. I've had a couple of people tell me recently they never use QR codes as they don't know what to do. We have quite a few in our adverts and I use them to make it easy to access websites and links so I thought I'd include a quick tutorial! The QR code below will take you to the S40 Local website without having to type the web address.
Open the camera app on your smart phone and focus on the QR code, a box will appear around the QR code and there'll be some way of accessing the link. An iphone may take you straight to the website, my android phone puts a red button in the centre of the QR code. Press this to open the web address that’s associated with the QR code.
The QR codes I use require you to click a link saying 'continue to destination' to access the necessary web address after clicking the QR code. If you've never used one, please try the S40 Local link above and see how you get on. Lesson over.
Our next edition is November, the penultimate before Christmas so please get in touch with your Christmas ideas, classified adverts for things you’re selling that would make good Christmas gifts for someone else or, if you’re a business, to place an advert to encourage our readers to get in touch and purchase the fantastic goods and services you have available this festive season.

Flax: A Wonder Product Amanda Haran & Her Love Of Flax Words: Paul Chapman Images: Amanda Haran
A tiny seed you can plant in your garden, can become a bucket, a rope, a bag, a hosepipe, a tarp or even parachute webbing!
Flax is a remarkable plant, but I suspect many of us have never given it a second thought. Yet flax has played an important part in our industrial heritage and, thanks to local artist Amanda Haran, it is now at the heart of a fascinating project bringing people together through art, history and a handful of seeds. And yes, that is a collapsible flax bucket on our cover. Used during the Second World War, it's a brilliant example of just how versatile flax is, for instance Linen is made from flax, a lightweight natural fabric produced from the fibres of the plant's stalk.
Amanda's flax project really began during a visit to a the former Waingroves colliery site where she became fascinated by the old rope-work that had once been made by hand on site. She started growing flax in her own front garden three years ago, with an idea that has grown into something much bigger. Her project isn't simply about growing a plant. Amanda wants to tell the story of flax and its importance to Derbyshire's industrial heritage, while using it to connect people from different cultures, backgrounds and communities. Page 6
“My studies focused on Industrial
Textiles. A third of the course was arts based and my family contains the Horrockses weaving family so I have strong connection to the mills of Lancashire. It feels fitting that I'm telling the story of flax,” Amanda tells me.
Her career has also included working for the Turner Prize as a community engagement officer, helping people connect with art and encouraging communities to get involved. “My job was about getting people into the gallery, helping them connect with the artworks and creating a legacy that lives on after an exhibition or event.” And then there was Neil: Miner, Neil swept Amanda off her feet and brought her to Derbyshire.
Today, Amanda's studio is her front garden. Here she grows flax from seed, harvests it and begins the process of turning the plant into something that can be woven and made into useful objects. This little plant has found a very special place in Amanda's heart.
“I want to unite people through positive stories, share seeds and encourage others to do the same,” she says. Amanda carefully packages her flax seeds in recycled boxes, ready for them to be passed on and planted. Flax is sown in spring, from late March to April/ early May, and I can guarantee that I will be out planting my box of seeds.

Images (from left clockwise): Amanda Haran with the flax growing in her front garden; handmade flax basket; flax rope spool and a historic aircraft with linen wings from flax.
The seeds have already travelled as far as Europe, the network is spreading.
“Many people never set foot in a gallery and experience the works of art we have available to appreciate,” she explains. “But by sharing and growing some seeds, they can become part of a much larger arts installation.” Flax once contributed so much to the economy and landscape around us and the different varieties of flax have different properties and uses, and every part of the plant can be put to good use.

Business Intro A little bit of sunshine: Amanda has been talking to local councillors about the project and is exploring ways they can get involved. Local shops have also got behind the idea and helped distribute boxes of seeds. “I see the project as a small ray of sunshine at a time when messages all around us are so negative,” Amanda says. Amanda's cunning plan: Next year Amanda aims to get as many people as possible to harvest the flax they've grown at home and make a little flax basket. The baskets will be brought together and displayed as one large installation, each basket carrying the story of the person who created it.
Is it difficult to grow? Simply plant the seeds after the first frost and, it's pretty difficult to get it wrong. It doesn’t need much pampering and generally needs little watering once established.

A series of processes then turns the plant into fibre that can be spun into yarn and woven.

I love what Amanda is doing, she's bringing an interesting part of our industrial heritage back into the conversation, is getting people involved… and you don't have to be an artist, a historian or live on a farm!
Since meeting Amanda, I don't think I'll ever look at a collapsible plastic bucket in a camping shop quite the same way again. There's something rather appealing about the idea of a product grown locally from the ground, doing the job it was designed to do and, when its useful life is over, returning naturally to the earth. Compare that with a plastic alternative that may have travelled halfway around the world before reaching our shelves and could remain in the environment for many years after we've finished with it.

M's Gallery:
Happy 20th Birthday
Words & Image: Paul Chapman
This year Emma (pictured) is celebrating 20 years of M’s Gallery in the Yards, while its younger sister, M’s Accessories, reached an impressive milestone of its own, turning ten in June this year.
refreshingly simple philosophy. “The business is like my lifestyle. We’re not flashy and, as long as we can maintain the lifestyle, we can keep the shops open and fresh.
I asked Emma how did it all start? “I worked at Woolworths before this, travelling between branches, managing in retail,” Emma explains. “I met my now husband whilst working in Chesterfield and I wanted more stability and greater control over my working hours for when we had children.”
That attitude is reflected in the clothing and accessories they choose to stock too. “We’re not about fast fashion. We work with British companies and businesses with ethics and simple core beliefs, but also products that work well for us and our customers.”
Together, they are a great example of the independent businesses that help give Chesterfield town centre its personality.
Emma's first shop was a small gift shop in the Yards that is now Vanishing Point Records, it was here that she quickly discovered that jewellery was proving very popular.
Later in September 2006 she opened M’s Gallery in its present location at 5 South Street, opposite the old Wilko’s site after a unit became available. M’s Gallery has built its reputation around handmade silver jewellery, deliberately seeking out independent designers and makers. “We specialise in handmade silver jewellery, from UK designers and some from Chesterfield and Sheffield, we have suppliers that work with recycled silver keeping their footprint small, and we keep our prices reasonable so it’s affordable.
“As well as the smaller independent makers we have ranges from Nomination, we’ve been a retail partner for 15 years and also have brands like Coeur De Lion, a range that is hand-crafted in their workshop in Stuttgart, Germany.” It’s a mix that perfectly reflects Emma’s approach, interesting, well-made products without feeling exclusive or out of reach. With 20 years in retail there must a reason for the success? Emma laughs, “Having low expectations!” But behind the joke is a Page 12
“I also love what I do. As I said before, it all fits around the kids, and I think having realistic expectations of what can be achieved is what keeps us so successful.”
There’s also something new to look forward to, with White Stuff recently joining the range, and Emma planning to introduce more of the brand between now and 2027. It’s not all been so easy though, Emma commented on the impact working at home has had on town centres and businesses. “This affected footfall, all town centre business suffered, it wasn’t just the sandwich shops, people stopped coming in and browsing.
“Also, when people work at home many slip on a pair of joggers, there’s no need to look so smart. Not good for a clothing retailer." But Emma focuses on the positives, their brilliant customers. “We have some very loyal customers and it’s been great seeing families grow as they call in,” she says. “Many youngsters who came in with Mum at the start are now calling in with their own children.”
Those relationships are something you simply don’t get from clicking a button online. Customers become familiar faces, conversations become friendships and shopping becomes a social experience as well as a practical one.
And if you’re looking for Christmas gifts, Emma has noticed that people are increasingly getting organised early. “Once the kids are back at
www.chesterfieldlocal.com
"I think having realistic expectations of what can be achieved is what keeps us so successful." Emma, M's Gallery
school, we notice things pick up. People are looking for gifts and wanting to get everything sorted so they can relax and enjoy the festivities.”
Chatting with Emma and Carly it was clear they love doing what they do, working with their best mates and being part of the independent town centre community. After 20 years they are celebrating and have a positive outlook moving forward - perhaps ready for another 20 years!
I asked how business was in the town centre. “We are so lucky in Chesterfield, we have many great independent businesses in town, we have our challenges like any town, but we are doing well, better than many. “A town centre is what you make it. It’s also down to the residents of a town to make it
work, come visit the town centre more, skip the internet and get back to face to face shopping. If people come, the businesses that are here do well, others see this and more come. It’s not rocket science.” If you’ve never called into M’s Gallery or Accessories perhaps it’s time to pay them a visit and there’s plenty of independent coffee choices close by as well! Many happy returns from S40 Local. m’s accessories m’s gallery

A New Home NOW OPEN on Hipper Street Text: Paul Chapman Images: OTI Interiors
Ingmans has moved to Hipper Street, well some of Ingmans has moved, you see they already have a workshop on Hipper Street that is repairing walking boots for Meindl but now the shop and cobblers previously at 14 to 16 Burlington Street has relocated too. I’ve known Andy Ingman from Ingmans for many years. My first meeting with him was probably over twenty years ago when he sold me a pair of Loakes, I was fed up of looking scruffy and wanted an upgrade! Repairs and more sales followed but it wasn’t until recently that I was introduced to the back room of the business, the cobblers. I met with Andy at Hipper Street and asked, so why the change? “Retail is a difficult sector at the moment,” says Andy, “maintaining a business on any high street is hard work and life in Chesterfield is no different to any other small town.”
Andy has been looking at the business critically for a while now and seeking a way to continue to make it work, “I realise that change is needed, I can keep treading water but when you’re not sure how long you can keep your head above water something has to change.”
“The town centre just doesn’t have the footfall it used to. Combine this with the cost associated with holding the necessary stock needed to ensure you have a range that’s going to please all your regular and new customers, plus the increases in the cost base associated with Page 16
any business and unfortunately some of the numbers don’t add up anymore.”
Change is a positive thing and although the clothing range will see a dramatic change, shoe repairs and quality footwear sales are what Ingmans does best so this will continue as the heart of the business going forward.
You may not be aware, but the name Ingmans also carries a lot of weight in the world of walking boot repairs. Andy has a contract with walking boot manufacturer Meindl and their UK repair centre has been operating from Hipper Street for seven years. When I visited the workshop Johnno was busy repairing boots. This has been supported with grant funding to ensure they have the latest equipment available to them and the shelves were stacked with completed items waiting to go out, in progress and new repairs just arrived. Ingmans are also experts in repairing climbing shoes, “you’d be amazed how emotionally connected people get to walking and climbing shoes, the boots might be the only connection
www.chesterfieldlocal.com
they have to that trek up to Everest base camp or the walk someone did to see the sunrise at Machu Pechu. Memories people want to hang onto,” says Andy.
Being awarded the Meindl contract was no small achievement, competition was strong, and Andy spent time in Germany with the manufacturers. Here he learnt the importance of glues and steps in the process needed for repairs that can be guaranteed. Andy adds, “I loved spending time with Heinz and the team at Meindl, our relationship now is perhaps stronger than some of their glues and it was great getting to know them over a beer or two.” With Chesterfield being so well positioned for adventures in the Peak District, Ingmans are also able to resole climbing shoes in their workshop and offer repairs using Vibram soles for most walking boots. “Walking boots and climbing shoes are such expensive items, it makes so much sense to get them repaired, they are broken in and a perfect fit, a repair is so much cheaper than new boots plus more sustainable,” says Andy.

"shoe repairs and quality footwear sales are what Ingmans does best so this will continue as the heart of the business going forward." Andrew, Ingmans
‘It’s not all about walking and climbing we are still here to repair and look after people’s shoes, boots and leather goods. I’ve been a cobbler for 40 years now, it’s in my blood so you know you’re in safe hands,” laughs Andy. Safe hands indeed, ones that are trusted by Joseph Cheaney & Sons, Barkers and Loakes for their repairs to name a few. The new shop front is now all sorted and by the time you read this the old Burlington Street shop will be closed. Ingmans will still be stocking, Loakes, Barkers, Trickers and Cheaney & Sons footwear and Mac jeans, plus their own signature Ingmans range of leather goods at their new Hipper Street location. Got some shoe repairs that need sorting, need some quality new shoes or trainers for the office? Then make sure you call into Ingmans, the premises is smaller but the welcome is still as large as ever and the service you’ll receive amongst the best in town.

Town
Independent Chesterfield A place to be positive Words: Paul Chapman
FOOD & DRINK • SERVICES & ACTIVITIES • SHOPS • CREATIVE ARTS
A few minutes on social media and you'd think Chesterfield town centre is dead. However, take a walk around town on a Thursday when the flea market is on and it's a totally different story. Personally I think it's got a lot going for it and there's so much to be positive about. Like any town we have our problems but on reflection we're doing OK. Town has changed and the way many of us shop has changed. Convenience and price often dictating where we spend our money over quality, service and experience. I've cultivated a number of great relationships with local, independent businesses, many of them I consider friends more than clients and they work tirelessly day in day out to make their goods and services available to us all. A few years ago a group, led by Defeye Creative, came together to produce a map and website to help visitors find the independent businesses hidden around town. It was a guide, curated with hand picked places that we love. "There is so much more to Chesterfield than the Crooked Spire. Don’t get us wrong, we love it, but within the town there is a vibrant community of independent businesses and hidden gems waiting to be discovered." Recently we've revisited the town centre map and brought it up to date. There are well over a hundred businesses listed, you can take a look by scanning the QR code opposite to get to the Independent Chesterfield website, where you can download a handy copy of the map. Thanks to Matt from Defeye Creative, Laura Jo from Adorn Jewellers, Gary from The Little Ark, Lisa and John from Shop Indie, not forgetting myself and Simon from S40 and S41 Local for the work to get this updated and reprinted. Take a while to familiarise yourself with the businesses and services available to you and please do all you can to support them.

Business Intro
Chesterfield Business Expo No bots, but lots of brilliant local businesses Words & images: Simon Paterson & Simon Coy
We’ve all had enough of bots, algorithms and increasingly convincing emails telling us they’re definitely not robots! But when it comes to business, sometimes what you really need is a room full of actual people.
Behind the event are husband-and-wife team Simon and Emily Coy, Co-Founders of Derbyshire Business Events.
That’s exactly what you’ll find at the Chesterfield Business Expo, which returns to the Casa Hotel on Thursday 1 October, bringing together 48 exhibitors from a wide range of sectors and businesses of all sizes.
The pair have lived in Derbyshire for more than a decade and have combined their experience to create networking events and business exhibitions across the county.
You can connect with someone on LinkedIn, arrange a Zoom call or 'reach out' on an email, but nothing quite beats walking into a room full of people you don’t know and discovering that the person you’ve just started chatting to could be your next customer, supplier, collaborator or business partner.
It’s a chance to get out from behind your desk, off a roof or under a floorboard and put faces to names, and discover what’s happening within Chesterfield’s business community. Page 24
Simon is a full-time event organiser who has been running networking events and expos for more than 12 years, including one of the largest monthly business networking lunches in Birmingham. Emily previously worked as a local business coach, helping business owners create the businesses they wanted, before joining Derbyshire Business Events full-time at the start of 2026.
Their aim is simple: to bring businesses together and show just how valuable good connections can be, whatever the size or sector of your business.

Business Intro
Food As Medicine Introducing Westbrook Nutrition Words: Simon Paterson
Westbrook Nutrition is a new business to S40 Local. I'm excited because not only is it the first nutritional therapy business we've had in S40 Local, but it's also run by Paul's (S40 Local founder's) wife. Nicola Chapman is the driving force behind this business and we met up so I could find out more. So, Nic what prompted you to start your nutritional therapy business? "I had a number of digestive health issues in my 20s which really took their toll and I became interested in how foods, nutrients and lifestyle could make a difference to how I felt. "I knew these were contributing factors and realised that what I ate, how I slept, stress, exercise and lifestyle all impacted how I felt."
When did you decide to take that interest further? "About nine years ago, I decided I wanted to gain more knowledge, and be in a position to help others, so I decided to go back to university to study for a Postgraduate qualification in Nutritional Therapy.
"I studied part-time, alongside my day job, taking six years to complete my course and in 2024 I qualified and registered with the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT).
"Since I qualified I’ve supported a number of clients to improve their health, with face to face and online appointments. It's amazing to see how changes can make a genuine impact."
Is there such a thing as a typical client? "Not really! I work with people with a really wide range of health concerns. Page 28
"I’ve supported people with diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and people taking medication for reflux and heartburn. I've worked with people experiencing digestive problems, IBS, menstrual problems, low energy, gallstones, gallbladder issues, including support after gallbladder removal, diverticulitis, constipation and people who have weight-loss goals. The list goes on! "Although the reasons for seeking support vary, they generally have one thing in common: they’re ready to try something different.
"They know they want to make changes to their diet and lifestyle, but often don’t know where to start. There’s so much advice out there and it can be really confusing. I help people to find a way through the marketing, the health claims and the conflicting advice, getting back to basics, supporting them in their health goals.
"People want to know what they should actually be eating, they want a plan, practical support and someone to help them stay accountable. "That’s what I’m trained to do."
What happens at the first appointment? "Before the session you complete a comprehensive health questionnaire which includes a full medical history, signs and symptoms, medications and supplements. I review everything, look at identifying underlying causes and how we can address these with food, lifestyle and maybe supplement or testing recommendations. "At the session we talk through what's happening, the options available and explore where you are and agree actions that feel manageable and appealing.

"After a pre-diabetes diagnosis I felt scared and confused. Nicola listened, calmed my fears, and gave practical, gentle guidance I could follow at my own pace. I learned to rethink my eating, following our plan. "Her supportive, non preachy approach has changed my lifestyle for the better. Thank you, Nicola." Jane: Brookside
"We work with food preferences and how you live to find practical ways to make sustainable changes."
"If all you can manage that week is one small change, then that’s where we start. I work alongside you to work out what you want to achieve, why you want it and, most importantly, how we can get there step by step.
"For more complex health conditions or where there are multiple medications, we can work together on the 12-week programme, this gives the time, space and support to move forward and keep taking steps towards your goal.
HEALTH ISSUES? What you eat, how you sleep, and how you live all affect how you feel. We will work together to make adjustments or tweaks to your diet and lifestyle so you can start to feel better. Prices start at £95.
"If you are wanting support and advice to improve your health, through nutrition or coaching, shorter programmes can work well."
If I wanted to start improving my health, where should I begin? "Everyone is different, but a really good place to start is by focusing on eating three good quality meals a day, increasing fibre, adding more vegetables and fruit, nuts and seeds, and choosing wholemeal rather than white carbohydrates. Focus on good-quality protein at each meal, add in healthy fats and making sure you're drinking enough fluids. So, if you're reading and think Nicola might be able to help, she offers a 20-minute free call. Just message ‘HEALTH’ to 07793 380057 to arrange a time.

Community What's On
One World Week Chesterfield Saturday 17 to Saturday 24 October 2026 Text: Paul King
One World Week (OWW) was a big event around 40 years ago led by the World Development Movement (WDM). But the WDM faded, and so did the week. This year a group of people in Chesterfield are resurrecting the idea here, in the hope the idea might spread again.
News bulletins are forever reminding us that we do indeed live in a single world. The recent solar eclipse did this too. This year’s drought and high temperatures underline that ‘something is happening’ – confirmed by the ‘every household’ emergency message on our phones. No air-raid. No invasion, but a real crisis that requires action.
One World Week Chesterfield (OWWCH) will run from Saturday 17 to Saturday 24 October. A fortnight before the week, on Thursday 1 October 2026, there will be a second showing of the People's Emergency Briefing, the Climate Emergency film, fronted by Chris Packham, at Loundsley Green. In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and other influential people in Westminster. That evidence is now on the public record and was first shown in the Library Theatre in June and brought to Chesterfield again by our local MP.
The core event of OWW will be, United Nations Day on Friday 23 October 2026, with a gathering at The Friend's Meeting House at 6:30pm for up to 80 people. People with various unity concerns and enthusiasms. The following morning, Saturday 24 October, an Informal Rally will take place in the New Market Square, where we invite you to carry a label, sticker Page 36
or banner telling others of your particular experiences and enthusiasms, relating to our one world - maybe you have family elsewhere, belong to international campaigns, or simply care for our world as a whole.
The Street Name Quiz: You might also want to consider our local area and its wider world links by trying the Street Name Quiz - bring your answers along on Saturday 24 October to the rally in New Square to discover the answers and a few prizes no doubt. Our town is headed this year by mayor, Cllr Shirley Niblock, with a son in Canada and experience of our twin towns across the world. Our deputy mayor, Cllr Nick Redihough (who next year will be our last mayor) has international family links. Our Regional Mayor is invited, together with our town's leaders and lots of people like you and me!
The idea is to affirm and celebrate our local togetherness, community and explore our part in national and international matters. Like it or not, we are part and parcel of One World, we're in this together so let us make the best of it. I have played a part in this venture and the Central Methodist Church on Saltergate will kick the week off on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October with a local Songs of Praise Service on Saturday at 2:30pm where guests will choose hymns and Songs. On Sunday 18 October at 10:30am an Open Door Worship - with guests with international experience and connections. I do hope you can come and enjoy.
www.chesterfieldlocal.com
The Street Name Quiz How about a puzzle to solve in Chesterfield itself? A Road and Street Quiz: What's reason behind the street or road name? Do you know, can you put a meaning to each name? Perhaps you'd like to bring your suggestions or answers to the final rally in New Square on Saturday 24 October at 10:30am where there will be some simple prizes. Let’s get to know our town better. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25.

Rotary International
A reminder that the Freevoices Community Choir are moving to daytime sessions. From Thursday 10 September they'll be meeting at the St Thomas' Centre on Chatsworth Road from 11am to midday.
All are welcome, no need to audition, no need to read music, just sign for pleasure and there is no pressure to perform. Session are £5 and if you need more info please contact Helen on 01246 237937 or email: helendavies632@gmail.com
September Jobs Fair Rotary International are making up Friendship Boxes to send to the children in Ukraine. These boxes are collected locally in Chesterfield by our local Rotary clubs and container lorries (driven by Rotarians) deliver these boxes on to Rotarians in Ukraine. On arrival they are distributed to Rotarians in Ukraine who organise distribution to those needing them the most. Convoys continue to go out every month as this is an on-going situation.
The boxes need to contain exercise/ note books, pens, pencils, rubbers, string, sellotape, coloured pencils, crayons, a small toy etc. The boxes are 25 litres in size, so any toys included will have to be small and once the stationery items are used up, the family can keep the box for their own possessions. The toys should not have batteries or sharp edges for safety reasons.
Dunelm, The Range and Poundland have suitable boxes at about £4 each but we can provide these to you if needed. Toys etc do not need to be new but need to be in good condition to ensure they are well received
Please spread the word if you feel that you can Help. Please contact Chris Webb (email below) if you want us to arrange Collection of a Box. E: riversidecreek7@gmail.com Many thanks for your Support.
This national initiative is being co-ordinated by Past District Governor Cheryl Berry.

Arts What's On
Bright Winter Nights Bolsover Castle The sell-out event returns this November for two magical evenings of light, art and community creativity.
Thu 26 & Fri 27 November Words & Images Junction Arts
Bright Winter Nights will return to Bolsover Castle this November, transforming the town’s iconic landmark with spectacular light installations, projections, soundscapes and interactive artworks across two magical evenings. Launched in 2023 by Junction Arts, Bright Winter Nights has quickly become a muchloved highlight of the winter calendar. Each year, the event brings a brand-new collection of artworks to the castle, creating an immersive experience that celebrates local creativity while bringing the community together. For 2026, the theme is “Speak My Voice”, with every artwork co-created alongside community groups from Bolsover. Working with professional artists, local people are helping to shape the installations and tell their own stories, ensuring their perspectives and voices take centre stage. All of this year’s installations will be newly created for Bright Winter Nights 2026. The programme will also feature 50 Stories, a special project celebrating Junction Arts’ 50th birthday. The piece will bring together stories from people who have shaped, and been shaped by, the charity over the past five decades. Following overwhelming demand for previous events, Junction Arts will once again run Bright Winter Nights across two evenings, giving
more people the opportunity to experience the spectacular show. Tickets will remain affordable, costing £3 for adults, £2 for children and free for under-twos. The event takes place on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 November, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm, with a dedicated quiet session from 4.30pm to 5pm. Bright Winter Nights 2026 is presented by Junction Arts in partnership with English Heritage and Videoclub, with funding from Arts Council England, Bolsover District Council and Wesco Anixter. The event forms part of the Bolsover Winter Festival, taking place from Thu 26 to Sat 28 November, alongside the much-loved Bolsover Christmas Market and Bolsover Lantern Parade – three festive days celebrating creativity, light and community. Tickets go on sale in September; follow Junction Arts on social media for details: @JunctionArtsUK For more information see: www.junctionarts.org @junctionartsuk

Graham Gouldman Heart Full of Songs (10cc) Sunday 11 Oct Sheffield Memorial Hall
It started as a three-piece supporting at 10cc concerts and quickly evolved into a stand-alone entity. These days Heart Full of Songs is a semi-acoustic/electric, four-piece.
Featuring material from across Graham’s catalogue, the set includes such classics as 10cc’s I’m Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday; Bus Stop and Look Through Any Window, which were hits for The Hollies; For Your Love and Heart Full of Soul (the Yardbirds); No Milk Today (Herman’s Hermits); Bridge To Your Heart from his time with the late Andrew Gold as Wax, along with songs from film soundtracks and his solo albums.
Acknowledgment of Graham’s achievements has been growing more widely too, with him awarded an MBE in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours list, for services to music.
Keith Hayman, Andy Park and Ben Stone we have a fantastic band that presents the songs with passion and to the highest musical standards. I couldn’t ask for more.” The increasing success of Heart Full of Songs shows how ever more people are keen to share the magic of the music with its composer.
