So have you heard about Belper’s fabulous festival that’s happening on 26th July?..
We will be taking part of this festival going with a Victorian feel and offering families/children to take part in FREE activities here at Fleur which will be all set up in our gazebo outside our shop 💐
Belper will be bursting with music, dance, theatre, crafts and food, bringing people of all ages together to celebrate the town’s heritage.
The festival is being organised by Love Belper CIC as part of a wider year of activity, marking 250 years since Jedediah Strutt’s first water-powered cotton mill, which transformed Belper from a village into the world’s first factory town.
The festival will start at 12 noon and finish at 5pm on Sunday 26th July 2026 with stalls and entertainment across the town on King St, Campbell St, Strutt St, Market Place and Memorial Gardens.
It’s going to be a celebration created by the community, for the community and rooted firmly in the heart of the high street….so please pop the date in your calendar and look forward to seeing you there.
