Mosques

Chesterfield, a market town in Derbyshire, is home to a small but active Muslim community. The most prominent listed prayer place within the city is The Muslim Welfare Association, located at 10A Marsden Street in the town centre, just 1.6 km from the city centre. This serves as a key hub for local Muslims, offering a place for daily prayers and community gatherings. While Chesterfield itself has a limited number of mapped prayer places, the surrounding region provides a rich network of mosques and Islamic centres within a 50 km radius.

Beyond Chesterfield, the nearby cities of Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Wakefield, and Dewsbury host numerous listed mosques. In Sheffield, notable mosques include Markazi Jamia Mosque on Industry Road in Darnall and Masjid Abu Bakr on Bawtry Road in Tinsley. Rotherham features several prayer places such as Jamia Masjid Abu Bakr on Russell Street in Eastwood, Faizan E Madinah on Maltkiln Street, Madni Jamia Masjid on Tooker Road, Masjid Al Salaam on Eldon Road, and Jamia Masjid Noor-Ul-Huda on Psalters Lane. Barnsley is served by the Barnsley Muslim Community Centre on Dodworth Road. Doncaster has two listed mosques: Doncaster Jamia Masjid on Bentinck Close and Doncaster Jamia Masjid Sultania on Thoresby Avenue. Wakefield and Dewsbury together account for several more, including Abu Bakr Siddique Masjid on Tadman Street, Wakefield Central Mosque on Sanderson Street, Darul Ilm on Brewery Lane in Thornhill Lees, Jamia Masjid Swafia on Park Hill Lane, Markazi Jamia Mosque Wakefield on Grange Street, Masjid Zakariya on Agbrigg Road, Masjid Bilal off Parker Road, Masjid Noor & Education Centre on Lees Hall Road, and The Markazi Mosque Dewsbury on South Street in Savile Town.
