Infinity

Contemporary art in the heart of Derbyshire doesn't get much more intriguing than this. Infinity gallery occupies a space that feels refreshingly different from your typical country museum - think bold installations and thought-provoking pieces that might surprise visitors expecting traditional Peak District fare.

Art enthusiasts will find plenty to ponder here, though it's worth noting that contemporary galleries can be hit or miss depending on what's currently showing. The space itself has character, and when the exhibitions are on form, you'll leave with your creative batteries properly recharged.

Families might want to check what's on before making the trip from Chesterfield - some shows work brilliantly for curious kids, while others are decidedly adult in their appeal. The gallery fits well into a broader exploration of the area, particularly if you're staying at one of the nearby spots like Darwin Forest or the glamping options scattered around this part of Derbyshire.

Practical details seem a bit elusive, so a quick call ahead wouldn't go amiss to check opening times and any admission fees. It's the sort of place that rewards the prepared visitor - and one that adds an unexpected cultural dimension to a Peak District break.
