S41 Local - 65 November 2025

ISSUE 65 November 2025 The community magazine for Ashgate, Barlow, Brockwell, Cutthorpe, Highfield, Linacre, Loundsley Green, Piccadilly and Upper Newbold

Cover: Izzy Shaw

Editors letter Hello and welcome to the November edition of S41 Local Magazine!

After being evicted from West Studios back in July, I’m thrilled to say that Paul (S40 Mag) and I are finally settled into our new offices at 81 Saltergate, the old yoga studio. And honestly, it couldn’t have come soon enough! Working from home can feel a little isolating and doesn’t quite suit my outgoing, creative nature ... or my constant snacking!

One of my favourite walks in the Peak District is around Linacre Reservoirs, a place full of memories with our dogs, past and present. So, I was especially delighted when this month’s front cover artist, Izzy, shared her wonderful interpretation of the mushrooms growing on the trees at Linacre. I’ve often admired those quirky fungi myself, and I absolutely love Izzy’s artistic take on them.

Our Christmas Gift Guide is back and it’s bursting with inspiration! Discover three pages packed with unique ideas for everyone on your list, from a sparkling dragonfly necklace to an unforgettable surprise getaway. All of the gift suggestions inside are from amazing, local indie retailers in the greatest town in the world ...

I had the absolute pleasure of walking through the newly revamped market on a sunny, Thursday afternoon and it was rammed! The market was buzzing with excitement and activity, and I have no doubt it will continue to serve our residents and tourist for years to come. Top job!

I want to leave you with one of my favourite meditations from Ryan Holiday’s The Daily Stoic, “Be ruthless to the things that don’t matter.” Seneca, On the Brevity of Life.

As a devoted father and partner, small business owner and educational partnerships manager, prioritising my time and choosing where my energy is spent, is critical to my success and happiness. Are you being ruthless with your time?

Have a wonderful Halloween.

Cover Artist

Fungi at Linacre Meet this month's cover artist, Izzy Shaw Words: Simon Paterson Images: Isabelle Shaw

This month’s front cover artist, Isabelle Shaw, Izzy to her mates, was that kid at school who always had a pencil in hand and paint under her fingernails. She honestly can’t remember a time before brushes and sketchbooks.

“I recently bumped into my old infant school teacher, Mrs Gex, and the very first thing she asked was, ‘Still doodling?’ I just laughed and said, ‘Well, I’ve just graduated from Birmingham University with a Fine Art degree!’” Izzy grins at the memory.

Izzy grew up in Chesterfield, attending St Mary’s Primary and then the secondary school. “I always knew I wanted to be an artist. At school, I scraped passes in pretty much everything except art, which I absolutely excelled at. At primary I was the kid who loved after-school club, purely because it usually meant something messy and creative!”

Izzy’s grandad played a pivotal role in her cultural development, and I’ve always loved galleries. My grandad worked for the National Trust, so we got free entry to all sorts of places.

Even as a kid, I was completely gobsmacked by the huge tapestries and paintings. That’s when my obsession with William Morris first began.”

At sixth form, she discovered her biggest artistic inspiration. “We were set a project on Ernst Haeckel, a biological illustrator who did these wonderfully weird, intricate drawings of plants and sea creatures. His work was so wacky and beautiful, it inspired me to go down the botanical route. Carnivorous plants are still my favourite thing to paint.”

That brings us neatly to her front cover artwork, her take on the fungi growing on trees at Linacre Reservoir. “When my dog was a puppy, he was too naughty to take anywhere else, so we’d walk him at Linacre. That’s where I started noticing all the different trees and mushrooms.

They look nothing like the ones we cook with, Page 12

they’re these extraordinary shapes and colours, like magical stepping stones. I just had to paint them.”

Izzy paints in oils but has her own way of working. “I don’t do underpainting, you know, shading in beforehand to help with contrast. I go straight onto a white canvas. A lot of artists build in layers, but I dive straight into the detail. No messing about. I trust my process, and it works for me.”

She’s also turned her hand to digital art. “My ex was obsessed with Spider-Man and Star Wars, so I made him a Star Wars comic starring him as the hero! It took me about two months, but if I’m close to someone, you can bet they’re getting a homemade gift.”

Of course, the artist’s life isn’t always easy.

“The hardest part is the lack of money, but don’t let that put you off. If you want to live an artist’s life, go for it. I come from a small town, so I don’t have the ready-made connections some people do. Making those links is tough.

But honestly, you’ve got to do what makes you happy. Otherwise, what’s the point?”

So, what’s next for Izzy? “Last year I went to New York with uni. I only went because the university paid half, and I wanted to see the galleries, I thought I’d hate it! But I absolutely loved it. I’ve applied for several internships there now. Fingers crossed I get one. I even thought, ‘If I apply for the Medieval Room, they’ll have to put a Brit in there!’” she laughs.

We wish Izzy the very best and hope she’s soon bossing the Medieval Room in New York. After all, my local pub is older than America, they definitely need a Brit on hand!”

Izzy’s always up for new artistic opportunities!

Our town

Chesterfield Market The beating heart of my town Words: Simon Paterson Images: Destination Chesterfield

I’ve lived in Chesterfield all my life, and if there’s one place that has always felt like the town’s heartbeat, it’s our market.

Flea Market: Thursdays, where I’ve spent hours rummaging for collectibles, comics and quirky finds.

Its history stretches back to 1165, with King John’s charter in 1204 giving us the right to hold a Saturday market and an annual fair. That means generations of my family, and countless others, have walked the cobbles, bartered at the stalls, and shared stories in the square. For me, it’s even more personal, the market gave me my very first job, teaching me the value of hard work and community spirit. It’s not just a market; it’s part of who we are!

Record Fair: From Fleetwood Mac to Michael Jackson and the Arctic Monkeys, the monthly record fair is a must visit for casual and serious collectors alike.

A Market Renewed: Recently, I’ve watched with pride as the Market Place has been given a new lease of life.The renovations have brought fresh paving, better lighting, and smart new stalls that still respect the heritage of the town.

There are more places to sit, and more space to wander and hold live events. It’s modern, progressive and future proofed. It feels safer, brighter, and more welcoming, while still holding onto the character that makes it ours. The market isn’t just part of my history, it’s part of my future too, and I know it will keep shaping my life and our town for years to come.

Why It Matters: For Chesterfield, the market isn’t just about shopping, it’s about survival and success. It draws people into the town centre, keeps our high street alive, and supports local jobs. When I see visitors from outside the area stopping to browse or enjoy a coffee, I know the market is doing its job: keeping Chesterfield vibrant and relevant in a world where so many town centres are struggling.

What’s On: One of the joys of living here is the variety:

Artisan Market: Held on the last Sunday of every month. Find a high-quality range of authentic goods with an emphasis on all that is local, ethical and original.

Vegan Market: I admit, I’m not a vegan, but it hasn’t stopped me from popping down and buying some tasty treats on the last Sunday of the month.

Specialist Markets: From the 1940s Market to the Medieval, international and Christmas Markets, these events bring the square alive with music, costumes, and community spirit.

Why I Love It: For me, Chesterfield Market is more than stalls and sales, it’s history, it’s memories. It’s where I bought my first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and held my first job, where my grandparents picked up their weekly groceries, and where I still bump into old Nobby Green friends. There’s a warmth here, a sense of belonging that Amazon and Asos can never replace. The market is our past, our present, and thanks to its renewal, our future.

So ... I urge you to stand with me in backing this modernisation, let’s celebrate and champion our town centre, not tear it down.

General Market: Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with everything from fresh fruit and veg (shout out to Ibbotsons) to clothes and homeware.

Business Intro

Hoppin’ Mad CakeAway New to Chesterfield Market Hall Words: Paul Chapman Image: Emma Owens

Hoppin' Mad Cakeaway is new to Chesterfield Market Hall and is Emma Owen’s business, a vegan and gluten friendly business.

Living in Devon, Emma had a friend who ran a health food shop and allowed Emma to use her kitchen and sell her products in the shop.

“I started baking as a hobby,” says Emma. “My in-laws are gluten intolerant, and my sister was vegan so I started experimenting with cakes they could enjoy.”

Emma has always enjoyed working in hospitality of some sort, like so many youngsters she started working at the age of 15 in cafes, and this inspired her down the same route in her college choices.

“My friends unfortunately decided to close their shop, so I was left without an outlet for my baking, so I decided I’d start selling on local artisan markets. This was a great way to gain feedback and refine my recipes,” says Emma.

I was keen to know a bit more about how you make a cake that tastes great but uses no flour, wheat, barley, dairy or eggs.

“Apart from the list above there are many other baking products to avoid; red food dye contains crushed beetles, and shellac is no longer considered vegan as it originates from an insect who produces the resin in their egg production.

Page 20

“There are many replacements available, amaranth, buckwheat, corn, millet, quinoa, rice, and sorghum can be used to make gluten friendly flours, flax seeds can replace eggs.

It’s often a case of trial and error, swapping in vegan and vegetarian options and creating a recipe that works.

“It’s essential that the end product has the taste and texture of a traditional Cake. Some people associate vegan and vegetarian cakes with no taste or having a dusty texture, I can guarantee you’ll not find that with my products,” says Emma.

She will readily admit that it’s a constant learning process, but the time and effort taken is starting to pay off.

Whilst there I bought five assorted cakes from Hoppin' Mad Cakeaway and took them back to the studio for a trial run. Everyone agreed these were very good, the rocky road stood out as a clear winner for us but all passed the taste and texture test (Ed: like we’re pro food reviewers! but we were happy). Emma’s best sellers are Rocky Roads, the Cherry Bakewell and her Carrot Cake. Emma also offers several sugar free products for diabetics.

I asked how she came to be in Chesterfield from Devon. “I suffered with health problems in Devon so came back home, we have family in

www.s41local.com

Sheffield and Chesterfield, and I came for their support.

“My health improved I prepared my kitchen at home, which has been approved and met the necessary food hygiene standards. I've taken space in the market hall and if all goes well, I hope to open my own premises, with kitchen and shop in the future.”

“The guys on the market have been really supportive,” says Emma, “I love being part of the crowd in the market hall, everyone is so welcoming.” You can also try Emma’s gluten free and vegan baked goods in No 10 Tea Rooms and she hopes to expand and supply other local cafes with allergen friendly baked goods.

Emma is happy to take orders for celebration cakes by arrangement, she is keen to stress that she is a cake maker and not decorator, the cupcake bouquets sell really well for events.

If you would like a selection for Christmas her order book is open for mince pies and Christmas cakes, catering for all needs what could be better that something home cooked and lovingly prepared by Emma.

You can find Emma at The Hoppin' Mad Cakeaway in the market hall, opposite the old Post Office in town and she’s open Monday, Friday and Saturday 9am to 3pm and Thursday 9am to 4pm.

The last words go to Emma, “Come and give my cakes a try, I can assure you that you’ll love them.”

Business Intro

Intro: Derbyshire Light Medical (DLM) Independent Medical Help - You Never Know When You Might Need It Words: Paul Chapman Images: DLM

In a world where health emergencies can strike at any time, having access to swift, professional medical support can make all the difference. That’s where Derbyshire Light Medical (DLM) comes in. Based in Chesterfield town centre, this independent medical team offers an impressive range of services – from event medical cover and fall recovery to first aid training, fire warden support, and even resident medics for businesses and events.

At the heart of DLM is Paul Hartshorn, an experienced emergency medical technician with a background in healthcare and a specialist interest in remote medicine. Paul and his team undergo constant training to ensure their skills remain at the cutting edge.

“It’s so important we stay up to speed with changes,” he explains.

The arrival of Covid-19 posed challenges, but it also gave Paul the chance to refine his services, today, DLM’s portfolio is broader and more vital than ever.

Fall Response - A Lifeline When Time Matters: One of DLM’s most valued services is its Fall Response. When someone suffers a non-injury fall, ambulance wait times can stretch from four to six hours, or even longer, we can fill that gap. “We provide a full medical assessment on arrival,” Paul says.

“If it’s safe, we’ll help the individual up, or if not, we’ll stay with them until an ambulance arrives.”

Real-life examples highlight the impact DLM can have. In one case, both fire and ambulance services were co-ordinated for a patient trapped in a tight location, avoiding delays. In another, they attended a fall outside a residential care home where Founded in 2014, DLM was originally an ambulance wait was estimated at eight focused on event support. Paul recalls how hours. DLM stepped in, safely assisting the it began: “I worked for a private ambulance patient into bed until a further assessment company and was approached to cover an by the ambulance services on arrival later event. I invested in kit and started providing team@derbyshirelightconfirmed no additional treatment was medical support across Derbyshire.” medical.com needed.

DLM's support is vital in home care services and residential homes where they offer a service for domiciliary care workers based on a subscription of just 35p per care hour. This provides a standby medical team and gives carers the peace of mind they need knowing support is available should they need it when visiting clients.

Training the Next Generation: DLM equips others to handle emergencies from their Chesterfield base where they offer first aid training in small classes of up to six people.

They also proudly support six students from St Mary’s School, who serve as emergency medical responders alongside experienced staff. “Each of them wants to move into ambulance work or paramedicine,” Paul explains. “We give them a pathway into emergency care.”

Peace of Mind: DLM operates on a simple principle: no one is ever turned away. While corporate and event services are fee-based, individual domestic call-outs are supported by voluntary donations. This model ensures that help is always available, whether for a friend, relative, or even a stranger in need.

“It’s about peace of mind,” says Paul. “I love what I do, every day brings something new.”

How to Contact DLM: Whether you need event medical cover, workplace training, or urgent fall response, DLM is ready to help.

Keep their number handy, you never know when you or someone you love might need it.

See the Bigger Picture with Our Advanced Eye Examinations Your eyes are precious – and looking after them is about more than just checking if you need new glasses. At Elliott & Heath Opticians, we believe in going above and beyond a standard sight test, which is why we offer Advanced Eye Examinations for patients who want the most thorough care.

What makes our Advanced Eye Examination different?

Unlike a routine eye test, our advanced exams give you and your optometrist a much clearer view of your eye health. Each appointment lasts 40 minutes with one of our highly experienced optometrists, giving time for a detailed, unhurried assessment.

We use the very latest hospital-grade technology to spot changes long before you notice any symptoms: • OCT 3D Retinal Scans – looks beneath the surface of the retina, detecting the earliest signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration and other eye conditions.

• Axial Length Measurement – an important tool in monitoring and managing myopia (short-sightedness), especially in children.

• Corneal Topography – a detailed map of the cornea that helps us detect subtle irregularities, aiding diagnosis and ensuring the best possible lens prescriptions.

• Comfortable Eye Pressure Checks – no more air puff! We use modern, gentle technology to measure eye pressure.

Affordable peace of mind Just £30 extra if you're re-eligible for an NHS sight test. £55 £FREE

Fully Private Eyeplan care scheme members

Why choose us?

Our team of knowledgeable, experienced optometrists take pride in providing the highest level of care, explaining your results clearly and answering your questions. Many patients tell us how reassuring it feels to know their eyes are being looked after so thoroughly.

We are now welcoming new patients – but spaces are limited, so we recommend booking soon to secure your place.

Your eyesight is priceless – and with our Advanced Eye Examinations, you can be confident you’re giving your eyes the care they truly deserve.

Simon Says Read These Books

Words and Images: Simon Paterson

Project Hail Mary Andy Weir With 3i Atlas currently hurtling toward Mars, it feels almost cosmically appropriate that this year I read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, and I haven’t stopped badgering my friends and family to read it since. Dare I say it’s my favourite book of all time? I dare.

I have. And I’ll keep saying it until someone else reads it just so I can talk to them about it!

What unfolds is classic Andy Weir: science, heavy problem solving wrapped in genuine warmth and humour. You don’t need to be a physicist to follow along, though by the end, you might feel like you could run a few calculations on the side. The real joy, however, comes from an unexpected friendship that proves just as gripping as the interstellar stakes.

Project Hail Mary follows Dr. Ryland Grace, a mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher who wakes up alone on a spaceship with a serious case of amnesia. As he runs experiments to figure out which solar system, he’s in and what on (or off) Earth is going on, his memories start to return.

The ending, oh, the ending… simply perfect!

I’d sing its praises louder if I could, but I’ve already said too much and wouldn’t want to spoil this interstellar joyride for my lovely readers.

Unfortunately for him (and all of humanity), those memories include the small detail that the fate of the entire planet rests squarely on his shoulders.

Verdict: A thrilling, heartwarming, and unputdownable journey through space. The easiest five stars ever! Read it. Thank me later.

The fate of the planet is project-managed (yes, literally project-managed) by a woman named Stratt, possibly the most direct person alive. Ryland’s flashbacks to his conversations with her reveal how he ultimately ended up aboard the spaceship tasked with saving Earth. Spoiler alert: there’s a twist ... and it’s a good one!

Page 30

It’s funny, tense, engaging, emotional and the ultimate page turner. It’s everything!

www.s41local.com

The Daily Stoic Ryan Holiday The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday is a remarkable companion for anyone seeking personal growth or positive change. More than just a book, it serves as a daily guide to reflection, discipline, and inner peace.

Drawing on 366 timeless lessons from the Stoic masters Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca, Holiday breaksdown ancient philosophy into accessible, practical wisdom for modern life. Each page offers a brief meditation and commentary that invite the reader to pause, reflect, and apply these insights to daily challenges.

Holiday’s strength lies in his ability to translate complex philosophical ideas into simple, actionable truths. Passages such as “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts” and “What isn’t good for the hive isn’t good for the bee” come alive under his guidance. Through his explanations, readers come to see that Stoicism isn’t about detachment or suppression, but about clarity, control, and purpose.

I’ve kept a copy of The Daily Stoic on my desk for years and return to it often. Even a few lines can reset my mindset, helping me approach each day with calm and gratitude.

It has profoundly shaped the way I manage my emotions and respond to life’s inevitable difficulties.

Whether you’re seeking stability in uncertain times or simply a daily moment of reflection, The Daily Stoic offers timeless wisdom to help you live with greater intention and peace.

A modern classic in practical philosophy that has helped me manage my emotions and be a better parent, partner and friend. Five stars!

Bright Winter Nights Immersive Light Show Returns To Bolsover Castle - Now Across Two Nights!

Words: Junction Arts Image: Richard Gardner

The sell-out event Bright Winter Nights will return to Bolsover Castle this November, illuminating the town’s iconic landmark for two magical evenings.

Launched in 2023 by Junction Arts to celebrate 30 years of the Bolsover Lantern Parade, Bright Winter Nights has quickly become a highlight of the winter calendar. Each year, the show combines large-scale projections, soundscapes, and interactive artworks to transform the castle into a glowing canvas of community spirit and creativity.

This year’s theme is “Hear My Voice”, with all artworks co-created alongside young people from Bolsover. Working directly with professional artists, they are shaping the installations to ensure their ideas, perspectives, and voices take centre stage.

The Bolsover Partnership is funding a project with Bolsover School, while Boza Youth Club is collaborating with VideoClub and Urban Projections. Global supply chain solutions provider Wesco Anixter is also supporting the event by funding an art commission involving Stubbin Wood School and Neurohub.

This year, the event will take place on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 November, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm, with a dedicated quiet session from 4.30pm to 5pm.

Tickets are on sale, and prices remain the same as last year: £2 per child and £3 per adult.

Kylie North, Project Manager at Junction Arts, said: “We’re so excited to bring Bright Winter Nights back to Bolsover for a third year – and now across two nights! It’s become such a favourite with local people because every year feels different, with new ideas lighting up the castle walls. This year’s theme, ‘Hear My Voice,’ is all about young people sharing their thoughts and dreams for the future. Get ready to be dazzled – and don’t be surprised if there are a few unexpected twists along the way!”

Scan QR code to book your tickets.

In response to overwhelming demand, organisers Junction Arts have added an extra evening, giving more people the chance to experience the spectacular light show.
