Facilities
Below are some of the facilities that we provide at Tibself Parish Council
Village Hall
The Parish Council Office is situated in the Village Hall and is open from 9:00am to 1:00pm Monday to Thursday.
The Hall is available for hire for all your celebratory needs – Children’s Parties, Weddings, Birthdays, Anniversaries – whatever you are celebrating.
If you would like to read more about the Village Hall, please go to our dedicated page on this website for more information.
Sports Ground
Tibshelf Parish Council Sports Ground is a lovely multi-use open area. Tibshelf Football Club has its home ground here and Blackwell and District Striders Athletics Club uses this as its base all year round. We have a recently refurbished pavilion with excellent changing facilities and a separate meeting/small event room with its own toilets and kitchen facilities. We are hoping to attract a cricket club to the ground over the summer months.
The Sports Ground boasts a large children’s play area, recently benefitting from an expansion paid for by s.106 developer money.
Tibshelf Carnival is held on the Sports Ground each summer and we have also hosted a caravan club!
Play Areas
There is currently one play area in the parish managed by Tibshelf Parish Council. This is at the Shetland Road Recreation Ground.
The Parish Council pay for someone to lock and unlock gates at the play area as well as the Cemetery to try and minimise problems after dark.
Allotments
The Parish Council lease out the allotment area to the Tibshelf Allotment Association who run and manage the hire of the allotments.
Tibshelf Cemetery
The churchyard at St John the Baptist Church has been closed for new burials for several years and its maintenance has been transferred to Bolsover District Council.
Tibshelf Parish Council established the Tibshelf Parish Cemetery at Doe Hill Lane in the early 1990s and continue to manage and maintain it.
Hanging Baskets
The Parish Council provide hanging baskets throughout the parish and boundary planters at all entrances to the village.
Sponsorship for the baskets and the planters are invited each year.
Defibrillator Locations
The Parish Council operates defibrillators at the following locaitons: Tibshelf Village Hall (110 High Street) and the Pavilion (Shetland Road). There are also defibrillators outside of the Co-op (24 High Street) and Hydro Aluminium UK Ltd (Saw Pit Lane).
Remembrance Sunday
The Parish Council work with the Revd Gill Manley at St John the Baptist Church and finance the cost of providing a marching band for the Remembrance Day parade.
Christmas
The Parish Council provide a large real Christmas Tree in the centre of the village on the green opposite the shops on High Street, as well as trees on the majority of commercial properties throughout the village (with the proprietors’ permissions!) during the Christmas Season.
They also arrange a Christmas Market, a Christmas Event with a Santa’s grotto for the children and a Christmas Carol Concert.

Grit Bins
The Parish Council participate in the Snow Warden Scheme, working in partnership with Derbyshire County Council to try and manage the clearing of the main walkways in the parish during snowfall. We have to be realistic as to how much can be done and try and concentrate on the main thoroughfares – ie those around the shops, High Street bus stops and doctors.
We very much rely on our resident’s neighbourliness in trying to help one another on the side roads. We do our best to keep the grit bins topped up.
We would remind everyone that the grit in the grit bins is not for personal use on drives house paths etc: – this is for the benefit of all residents and should only be used on the public footpaths and roads.
