Not long to go! If you haven’t been to beautiful Belper now is the time and if you have, you know how lovely it is!

The first Love Belper Town Festival is taking place this Sunday 26th July 2026.

From 12 noon until 5pm the town will be bursting with stalls and entertainment across King St, Campbell St, Strutt St, Market Place and Memorial Gardens.

You'll find 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.

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.
