Our Community

Dronfield is in North East Derbyshire in central England. It comprises of five communities Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse. Coal Aston, Apperknowle and Unstone within the S18 postcode area.


We are a friendly active Club and you are very welcome to visit us.We meet at Dronfield Hall Barn on the 2nd and 3rd Tuesdays in the month. 5.45pm for a 6pm start. We have a varied programme of speakers and socials.

We fundraise to fund our work in S18 and to respond to disasters overseas.

The Peak District National Park lies 3 miles to the west.

Dronfield is known to have been in existence prior to the 1086 Domesday Book, and has a 12th-century parish church. In 1662 Charles II granted the town a market, although this later ceased. The industrial history of the town includes coal mining, the wool trade, the production of soap and steel, and engineering. 

Today a range of manufacturing firms still operate within the town. Dronfield's population has increased dramatically in post-war years from 6,500 in 1945 to its current size of just over 21,000.
