Chesterfield Grammar school exhibition

9.11.19 – 13.12.19 10am till 4pm
The building of west studios used to be the Chesterfield Boys Grammar School. There have already been a few projects that have been worked on over the past few years with the Old Cesterfieldian Society, a group of ex-students from the school. The latest collaboration together is an exhibition of artefacts from the school that varies from an old school magazine to silverware to elements of the uniforms like hats and ties. More information about this exhibition will be coming soon!
