Look at our little faces!!

Time we introduced ourselves!
Say hello to our directors, you may recognise our faces 😂✨ Steph from , Ali from and Susie (me 👋) from ✨
We’re three women who are independent Belper business owners who share a passion for celebrating our town, community and high street!
Alongside running our own businesses and Love Belper, we’ve been working behind the scenes to bring this festival to life with the help and support of other local businesses, creatives, volunteers and community members who have contributed such a lot!
We’re incredibly proud to be creating something rooted in community, creativity and local spirit, and celebrating our High Street ✨

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 ✨
