How lovely to have received this for our window display during Pride in Belper

A new festival is coming to Belper this summer, with the first Love Belper Town Festival taking place on Sunday 26th July 2026.

Belper will be bursting with music, dance, theatre, crafts and food, bringing people of all ages together to celebrate the town’s heritage. Highlights will include vaudeville-style street performers alongside local dance groups, choirs, bands and DJ sets, with a programme designed to showcase the talent, creativity and distinctive character of Belper.

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.
