Welcome to the Belper Fringe 2021, undeterred by the continuing Covid-19 restrictions online concerts began in March with a vibrant set from local music legends The Ferretts. We have music events on a weekly basis until June.. with more to follow. If you wish to perform please shout up. We have been joined by Belper poet laureate Carol Brewer, who has organised a poet-tree festi

val commencing 17th April in St Peter's Churchyard for a month and then into the town centre as a trail from the Market Place to the Beaurepaire Gardens towards the end of June. Carol has been working with Jasper Ward and Andy Mayers in producing a book about the famous Belper Moo which will be published soon. Woollen woods begins on May 15th. This year you will find all the hand made tree-dwellers around the town centre. Belper Recorder Group will be performing an online play along on 22nd May. Once restrictions are lifted we plan to have a few more events, initially outdoors. Hopefully, by September we will be able have indoor events including a 2 day short play competition at the Lion Hotel. And of course, Belper Artisans to be arranged.

Would anyone like to put up a tree for Belper Fringe?

Belper Woollen Woods once again have plans to install a Community Advent Calendar in December 2025. We will attach woollen squares with number on and are encouraging local groups and individuals to take on responsibility for one of the trees in St Peter's Churchyard. The paths in St Peters are regularly used by local people to walk through from near Chesterfield road to Green Lane. People often walk around the churchyard as one of the green spaces within the town of Belper. As I write this there are a number of trees already taken but still room for more people to join in with this community activity. The photo before is of three trees when we did this in 2019.
