The last 12 months have seen some superb additions launched across the county, as well as several well-loved venues opening their doors again after closing for refurbishments – with a number of pubs being reopened in Chesterfield alone.
There has also, sadly, been a number of pubs that have closed their doors for the final time in this period.
These are 29 pubs that have opened for the first time, undergone major revamps or shut down permanently since October 2022.
