S41 Local - 72 July 2026

ISSUE 72 July 2026 The community magazine for Ashgate, Barlow, Brockwell, Cutthorpe, Highfield, Linacre, Loundsley Green, Piccadilly and Upper Newbold

Cover: Oliver Hoffmeister

Editors letter Hello and welcome to the July edition of S41 Local Magazine.

I may well have had my busiest June on record, and definitely the hottest!

So... what have we been up to?

Next edition: Summer 2026

I spent a few days in London. First up was the Queen's Tennis Championships, and... the Royal Box, no less! I had the most incredible day, complete with posh food, even posher company, and a smidgen of tennis squeezed in between the rain. Not bad for a lad from Loundsley Green.

Delivery by: Sun 16 August 2026

I stayed with my cousin Ross and his family, where his son Laurie put my Marvel Universe knowledge to the test.

Thankfully, I think I scraped a pass. The following morning, I had the pleasure of walking him to school, during which he managed to squeeze in another 37 questions!

Bekah joined me on day two and we headed into Westminster for a spot of sightseeing and some fantastic food before meeting Aunty Lynda, Uncle Brian, Ross and Hattie for the Traitors Live Experience. Needless to say, I was voted off early, either because I was too good or too opinionated, I'll let you decide! Bekah flew the flag for our team, lasting longer than the rest of us before finally being eliminated by the Traitors. It was brilliant fun and one I'd highly recommend.

Back in Chesterfield, I treated my dad and stepmum to a day at the Nottingham Open. We watched world class tennis, enjoyed the sunshine and spent some quality time together.

You can't ask for much more than that.

June... thank you. You've been pretty special.

Oh, and we made this magazine! Enjoy!

Peace, love and positivity Simon, Bekah, Evangeline and Florie

From Chesterfield to the Prado The artistic journey of Oliver Hoffmeister Text: Simon Paterson Images: Oliver Hoffmeister

At just 30 years old, Chesterfield born artist Oliver Hoffmeister has already built an impressive career, taking him from local classrooms to some of Europe's most prestigious artistic institutions.

Raised in Chesterfield, Oliver attended Old Hall Junior School, Brookfield School and later Chesterfield College. While many children enjoy drawing, for Oliver it became something much more.

"I don't remember a time when I wasn't drawing," he says. "Everybody draws when they're younger, but I just never seemed to grow out of it."

A key influence came during his school years.

"I had a really good teacher at Brookfield called Miss Andrews who nurtured that interest and encouraged me. Looking back, that was probably when I realised this was something I wanted to pursue long term."

That decision led him to Newcastle University, where he studied Fine Art between 2014 and 2018. Upon graduating, he was awarded the Hatton Prize for excellence in artistic practice, recognition that helped launch his professional career.

Page 6

After university, Oliver secured a studio in Newcastle before earning a fully funded scholarship place at the renowned Royal Drawing School in London.

"It was an incredible opportunity," he explains.

"For a full year I was able to focus entirely on drawing and developing my practice."

His time in London brought further success, including the Jack Goldhill Studio Practice Prize and selection for the Richard Ford Award, which took him to Madrid for six weeks working directly with the collections of the Prado Museum.

"I had access to works by artists like Goya and could draw directly from pieces in the collection.

It genuinely felt like a dream come true."

Despite his growing reputation, Oliver remains remarkably grounded and refreshingly honest about his work.

Describing his artistic style, he says: "I work with what I call the imagined image. We're surrounded by visual information all day through screens, adverts and social media. I allow all of that to filter through and then create something new from it."

Cover His work is predominantly figurative, blending imagination, observation and, increasingly, humour.

"I think artists sometimes take themselves too seriously," he laughs.

"At the end of the day, in my case, I'm rubbing oily dirt onto fabric. That's basically what I'm doing."

One of Oliver's biggest inspirations is David Hockney, an artist whose work has remained a constant influence throughout his life.

"He's somebody who's always surprised me. No matter how my own tastes have changed, I've always found something new in his work. He's never stopped creating, and that's incredibly inspiring."

Today, Oliver helps run Overlay Press, a print studio in Newcastle, while continuing to develop his own artistic practice. He has recently secured funding for a new creative project and has also been accepted onto a residency at Dumfries House later this year.

For young artists growing up in Chesterfield, his message is simple.

"Don't think that where you grow up dwefines your reach," he says. "You can come from Chesterfield and still connect with audiences all over the world."

He also encourages young creatives to embrace feedback rather than fear it.

"If somebody takes the time to have an opinion about your work, it means you've made them stop and think.

That's a positive thing."

From the classrooms of Chesterfield to the galleries of London and museums of Madrid, Oliver Hoffmeister's story is proof that talent, determination and self-belief can take you a very long way indeed.

Opinion

Independent Chesterfield Words: Isobel Grocutt

Last month, we spoke about the changing identity of Chesterfield. I also had the opportunity to talk to three independent businesses in Chesterfield, who shared their views on the town’s close-knit community and gave us an insight into the experiences that local businesses have in towns like ours, allowing us to celebrate the importance of independent retailers.

First to share his thoughts is Gavin Grainger, owner of Bottle & Thyme, Elder Wine, and OTI Interiors at the top of the town centre. His first business, Bottle & Thyme, opened in 2016 and relocated to their current address two years ago.

He comments on the variety of lovely people he comes across through his work. "The personality of Chesterfield is on the up, the current regeneration projects have been tastefully chosen and executed by the council", adding that this significantly improves the town’s image.

He discusses the opportunities and advantages of the town for different groups of people: "There are lots of events going on, but perhaps there is a lack of things in the town centre for young people". However, he points out the advantages of great transport links, being nextdoor to the Peak District, and the affordability that Chesterfield offers.

"It is essential to maintain a healthy balance between chain companies and independent businesses, offering people both the familiarity they need and the care for the community" he explains. "Being a local business is hard, but the sociable community is what really makes the shopping experience for everyone."

Page 12

Next, Corey Lavender from Vanishing Point Records enlightens us on Chesterfield’s history.

His business opened nine years ago, and he has lived in Chesterfield since he was five years old. He describes his community as "really close - record-lovers seem to sniff me out, rather than it being the other way around. Lots of the biggest artists in the 60s and 70s used to perform here, like Pink Floyd and The Who" he says, reminding us of Chesterfield’s musical history. This has drawn in tourists for many decades, as has the Crooked Spire - we are more famous than we might realise.

As someone who has lived here practically his whole life, Corey has watched the town change drastically. "The big companies all close, leaving empty spaces behind, I wish they would get rehomed" he says, explaining that small businesses can’t afford big premises. "It would be nice if they could join together and have a sort of indie-retailer indoor market".

He also points out "It's hard targeting events at the right people, times are tough for many.

Spare cash to spend on gigs and events has to compete with being spent on essentials, it makes it hard for us all."

Being an independent business in a town has its advantages for Corey, as rent is lower and competition is not so fierce. "It may be harder for some to reach target markets in Chesterfield, but it is much more worth it for the relationships we establish with customers.

Independent businesses play an important role in towns, as post-COVID there is more need for community than ever."

Cheryl Knowles, owner of Eclectic Delights of Serendipity on High Street having moved to the town centre two years ago, explains the

www.s41local.com

challenges that local businesses face. They have recently opened upstairs, where they sell unwanted clothes for people, taking a percentage of the profit, Vinted but IRL! "I love how close Chesterfield’s community is, I get loads more regulars than I would at a touristy place like Matlock." She also points out that "Chesterfield will never be the market town it once was. Recent regeneration projects have certainly helped, but people are just wishing for the past." The increase of online shopping has meant everything has changed, but this doesn’t have to be viewed negatively.

She also comments on the controversy around parking charges. "I don’t blame the council, they need to make money somehow" she says. "It’s the same in every town. Compare Chesterfield to Cornwall, and you’ve got yourself a bargain."

Corey @Vanishing Point Records as Lee Mavers sound checks!

Cheryl Knowles, Eclectic Delights of Serendipity

Eclectic Delights of Serendipity

"I wholeheartedly believe that us independent retailers work together as a community to make a place what it is"

All local businesses have to work harder than big retailers, but you’ll always find it’s the independent companies who care about the community, contribute to the towns personality, and ultimately keep it going.

Thanks again to Isobel for choosing to spend her work experience with us, and for penning this insightful and optimistic piece. We really appreciated your time.

Paul & Simon.

Gavin Grainger @OTI Interiors

Cheryl imagines that running a local business in a city would be just as challenging. "It’s hard for everyone, especially with the increasingly high costs of rent. But despite the challenges we face, I wholeheartedly believe that us independent retailers work together as a community to make a place what it is."

Art & Chesterfield

From murals and exhibitions to workshops and clubs, art is undeniably becoming a bigger part of life in Chesterfield. Organisations such as Junction Arts help to promote the creative aspect of the town and create opportunities for local artists and creative individuals to come together. With the current regeneration projects taking place in Chesterfield, the creative nature of the town can shine.

Junction Arts, a local art charity based in the town centre, do all they can to create accessible spaces for everyone to express their inner creativity. Hannah Bowdler, Development Manager at Junction Arts, explains what they are doing locally and the impact it's having. She first celebrates the success of April’s Derbyshire Makes event in town, describing it as "...jampacked. It shows people that art can be a paid job, and it is worthwhile," she explains. Recent changes such as the Pomegranate Theatre refurbishments and the change of address of Junction Arts to the town centre have also meant that art is more accessible. Hannah has definitely felt a growth in the arts and culture of Chesterfield. Junction Arts engages young people, "skill building, knowledge sharing, teaching and showing are the fundamental aspects of the organisation," she says. An example is their recent work with Abercrombie Primary School, where they allowed the year six students to help program this year’s Chesterfield Children’s Festival. This gave children in Chesterfield a voice to express their interests and ensure that the event remains relevant to young people.

"There’s always more that can and should be done" she explains. "There are plenty of events currently going on and coming up, such as Beam Arts UK’s recent projection on the market hall. Beam will also be organising a sculpture trail in town in the near future which aims to Chesterfield’s history." Things like this hugely impacts the reputation of the town, creating a deeper sense of pride in our history and community than we might realise.

Chesterfield’s art projects are far from finished, though. "We have a long way to go still, however we are definitely in a better position," says Hannah. "There will always be people who disagree with how funding is spent, but it is not just for the benefit of the artists involved." She argues that "investment in the town immediately makes it look nicer", pointing out that the

refurbishments of the market squares cater much better for creative events.

Nathan Hamer, Project Co-ordinator at Junction Arts, shares his views on the role that art plays in the identity of Chesterfield. "There’s always been a decent amount of creatives here," he says, however they seem to be becoming more visible. "The general public have more appetite now for things like festivals and workshops".

With the significant social change happening all around us recently, it is important to have these safe spaces in order for everyone to stay positive. We may not realise it, but things like art can have a huge impact on us in terms of mental health. Nathan emphasises the importance of "connections and community in preventing loneliness".

While understanding that people may believe the investment could be more usefully spent elsewhere, Nathan believes "If we cant afford to bring joy and colour to the world, there’s something wrong". The people contributing to these projects are all paid artists, it's their job.

"Many people don’t realise that the funding doesn’t come out of their council tax, it comes from elsewhere". These art events help make Chesterfield more attractive for tourism and look more inviting. They're opportunities to bring creatives together and celebrate the artistic identity of the town.

However, things like this take time. "It doesn’t happen overnight, it takes a long time to build an audience", says Nathan. He has noticed more and more comments about Junction Arts from locals over recent years, suggesting that people are becoming more aware of art projects they run.

It's important to recognise ways to make life more optimistic and colourful. "It’s a chance to just enjoy something, and take part in things for the sake of it", we need this more than ever during tough times.

Whether it is through public art, workshops, or local events, Chesterfield continues to showcase its vibrant personality through the constant events happening, and with much more to look forward to. It is more important now than ever to appreciate and take part in creating these communities and celebrating art within towns like ours.

Turning the Page A New Chapter at 60 Words: Joanne Hallett & Simon Paterson

When Ashgate resident and first-time author Joanne Hallett decided to mark her 60th birthday with a new challenge, she had no idea where the journey would lead.

After spending several years honing her craft as part of an online creative writing group, entering competitions and building a collection of stories, Joanne finally took the plunge into selfpublishing. The result is Gentle Deception, a collection of romantic, spicy and cleverly crafted short stories packed with unexpected twists.

T's and C's apply. No correspondence will be entered into.

Rather than taking the well-trodden route of publishing through Amazon, Joanne was determined to keep the project local. The book was published through Chesterfield-based Bannister Publications, while local businesses have supported everything from promotional materials to events. “It was a scary step,” admits Joanne. “I had all these stories sitting on my laptop and decided that turning 60 was the perfect time to do something completely out of my comfort zone.”

Since launching the book, Joanne has embraced the challenge of promoting it herself, organising book signings at libraries, cafés and community venues across the area.

The response so far has exceeded expectations. Demand has been so strong that a second print run has already been ordered, proving there is a real appetite for independently published local authors.

Adding an extra layer of purpose to the project, £1 from every copy sold is donated to the Macmillan Cancer Unit at Chesterfield Royal Hospital, where Joanne works.

The charity connection is particularly close to her heart, and it means that every sale helps support local patients and their families.

Name:

Her book is already being described as the perfect summer read. It is available through a growing number of local outlets, including Gigi Brown Hair Salon and Chi Beauty Salon in Chesterfield town centre, and The Olive Lounge in Wingerworth.

For Joanne, however, the biggest reward has been the experience itself.

“Meeting new people, hosting readings and doing book signings has been completely outside my comfort zone,” she says. “But I'm absolutely loving the journey.”

Gentle Deception is available now, with proceeds supporting the Macmillan Cancer Unit at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

Sadomasochism for Accountants

Romeo & Juliet

Thu 23 to Sat 25 July The Old Clubhouse, Buxton

From Eyam to Chatsworth, a volunteer cast aged 16 to 86 brings open-air Romeo and Juliet to six Peak District landmarks Shakespeare’s tragedy of two feuding families plays under the summer sky at the World Heritage mills at Cromford, the courtyard at Eyam Hall and the grounds of Chatsworth, 9 to 18 July 2026.

Chesterfieldbased Ashgate Heritage Arts (AHA) brings an outrageous new British adult musical comedy Sadomasochism for Accountants - to the Buxton Fringe Festival.

A departure for AHA, whose previous productions have included the family friendly Crooked Spire Medieval Murder Mystery Musical (2022) and the award-winning Mountains of the Moon (2024).

Mountains of the Moon was named Best Children’s Show at the 2024 Buxton Fringe Festival. Eddie Waller, who stars in Season 3 of the BAFTA award-winning show, Sherwood, won Best Youth Actor is also in the show.

Thu 9 to Sat 18 July Open-Air

Thu 9 July Wildhive Callow Hall, Ashbourne Fri 10 July Cromford Mill Sat 12 July Eyam Hall Thu 16 July Whirlowbrook Hall, Sheffield Fri 17 July Over Haddon Sat 18 July Chatsworth "Romeo and Juliet is a story about two families who cannot live alongside one another, and there is something powerful about telling it in places that each carry a history of their own, from the courtyard at Eyam Hall to the mills at Cromford. We are a company of every age, entirely run by volunteers, and there is nothing quite like watching this play take hold of an audience as the sun goes down over the Peak District," Lindsay Jackson, director, Chatsworth Players.

Based on the hilariously offbeat novel by Rosy Barnes, the musical has been produced and written by Martin Coslett (pictured right), who has co-adapted the book for stage with poet Tim Leichtfried (pictured left) of Writers in the Peak. The creative team also includes Harry Style (The Tom Lehrer Show, Shantify, The Voice), and Frazer Meakin as Director of the show.

Martin said: “We found Rosy’s novel hilarious and have been wanting to adapt it and put it in front of audiences. It is so appropriate in the current social climate. The core message is to be proud of who you are.”

The show explores identity, relationships and the masks people wear, both in everyday life and behind closed doors.

The two-act musical comedy can be seen at The Old Clubhouse, Buxton.

Tickets £10 with group discounts available. www.ticketsource.co.uk/ashgateheritagearts The Opera House Box office: 0333 666 3366
