We are so excited to finally unveil the official Love Belper Town Festival poster… and to formally announce something very special ✨
This will be our very first festival, organised entirely by us, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring it to life in the heart of our beautiful town 💫
The Love Belper Town Festival is a celebration of everything we adore about Belper, from food, drink, dancing and entertainment, to shopping, craft demonstrations, and a touch of history woven throughout. We’ll even have a traditional Town Crier! 📜
It feels especially meaningful as Belper celebrates 250 years of the mills, a town rich in heritage, creativity, and community spirit 🤍
The festival will flow through Market Place, King Street, Memorial Gardens, Campbell Street and Strutt Street, creating a magical trail of experiences to explore.
If you’re interested in having a stall at the festival, we have a limited number of spaces available, please get in touch via DM or email on [email protected] 📩

Due to the high volume of enquiries, we may not be able to respond to everyone individually, but we truly appreciate every single application and your interest in being part of this special event.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you all… it’s going to be something truly magical ✨
