Belper’s Lost Industries Walk

This circular walk around Belper looks at the various lost industries of the world's first cotton mill town. It begins with the cotton mills built by the Strutt family at the very beginning of the Industrial Revolution, with a slight diversion to include the picturesque weir on the river, followed by a look at the houses the family built for their workers. From there, the walk looks at the nail-making industry that pre-dated the arrival of the cotton mills, plus the other industries which once provided employment for the town, including hosiery, confectionery, chemicals and engineering.

Distance: 2.8 miles. Duration: 2 to 2.5 hours. Price: £5.00

Start point: The Triangle (junction of A6 Bridge Street and A517 Bridgefoot),

Eclectic folk with a dark identity. David Grubb brings together an array of seemingly disparate musical elements to create a uniquely diverse sound, challenging the audience’s perception of genre. David has been described as "A musician who doesn't play by anybody else's rules" (RnR Mag), and his melodies “highly melodious, appealingly catchy, even hypnotic at times” (The Living Tradition). His recent album ‘Nano’ (recorded 2019, released 2020) is an instrumental commentary on the dark side of modern society, inspired by the current political, environmental, and economic landscape.

David's ability to bridge genres has made him a flexible and valuable musician, working with the likes of Novo Amor, Jim Ghedi, Hailaker, and Toby Hay. He has had the pleasure of touring internationally, and has performed at prestigious festivals and venues such as Union Chapel (London), Bowery Ballroom (NYC), SXSW, and Cambridge Folk Festival.

Having been awarded a Creative Retreat through the prestigious Britten Pear Arts, David’s next solo outing is currently in the works and is sure to expand on his trademark genre bending ideas.

Belper’s Wartime Secret Walk

This circular walk looks at Belper's little-known wartime secrets. During the Second World War, Belper played a key role in the Allied victory. However, as those "in the know" never really talked about what they were doing, many people today have no idea of just how important a place it was. Even many of those living in the town at the time have no idea of what was happening right under their noses. This walk tells the story of the secret wartime work that took place in Belper and visits the sites involved.

Distance: 3.5 miles. Duration: 2.5 hours. Price: £5.00

Start point: Shortlands Car Park, Chesterfield Road (opposite St Peter's Church),

Belper, Derbyshire, DE56 1FB. – Start time: 10:00am.

Margaret Keys Concert for The Belper Fringe

Saturday 11th June 2022 – 7.30pm

St Peter's Church, Church Lane, Belper.

Returning to Belper this June is soprano singer, Margaret Keys.

Born in Derry, Northern Ireland her passion for music took hold at a young age and Margaret decided that she wanted to pursue a career on stage.

Margaret has performed extensively throughout the world and has performed with some of the world's leading orchestras and performers.

She has performed to an audience of 35,000 in a special International Lakeside Proms concert and was one of the chosen artists from throughout the World, which also included Andrea Bocelli and Aretha Franklin, to perform for Pope Francis in a special concert for his visit to the USA in 2015. The concert was broadcast worldwide to an audience of 1.5million.

She has also performed on several TV broadcasts including BBC Songs of Praise, The BBC Proms and on PBS American TV specials.

Margaret has performed with West End star Alfie Boe, Russell Watson, Paul Potts and was special guest to the multi- platinum selling The Fron Male Voice Choir in their recent tour to New York City and in their UK tour. She made her debut in the Royal Albert Hall in December 2015 in "Christmas with stars" which was produced by BBC Radio 2 and the TV Times. Following this performance She was subsequently invited back to perform again in the Royal Albert Hall Christmas Concert Special in 2016.

She was highly honoured to perform for HRH Prince of Wales Foundation Concert for Children and Arts, which was aired to an audience of 5million on Classic Fm and Sky Arts.

Margaret's high-profile performances have made a great impact on the world of classical music and thus prompted her appointment as the only Irish Ambassador for HRH Prince Of Wales Foundation for Children and Arts. This is especially important to Margaret as she is a proud supporter of arts having a positive impact on young people. She champions the power of the arts and music to transform lives of children.

Belper’s Lost Industries Walk

This circular walk around Belper looks at the various lost industries of the world's first cotton mill town. It begins with the cotton mills built by the Strutt family at the very beginning of the Industrial Revolution, with a slight diversion to include the picturesque weir on the river, followed by a look at the houses the family built for their workers. From there, the walk looks at the nail-making industry that pre-dated the arrival of the cotton mills, plus the other industries which once provided employment for the town, including hosiery, confectionery, chemicals and engineering.

Distance: 2.8 miles. Duration: 2 to 2.5 hours. Price: £5.00

Start point: The Triangle (junction of A6 Bridge Street and A517 Bridgefoot),

Belper’s Wartime Secret Walk

This circular walk looks at Belper's little-known wartime secrets. During the Second World War, Belper played a key role in the Allied victory. However, as those "in the know" never really talked about what they were doing, many people today have no idea of just how important a place it was. Even many of those living in the town at the time have no idea of what was happening right under their noses. This walk tells the story of the secret wartime work that took place in Belper and visits the sites involved.

Distance: 3.5 miles. Duration: 2.5 hours. Price: £5.00

Start point: Shortlands Car Park, Chesterfield Road (opposite St Peter's Church),

Belper, Derbyshire, DE56 1FB. – Start time: 10:00am.

GONE TO THE DOGS: A SHOW ABOUT ENGLAND

Alone in her shabby bedsit, a faded and forgotten Britannia sits, singing grief and lost glory.

Moving through a world of shadows from Arthurian myth to Brexit malaise, this mesmeric mix of theatre and song cycle explores imperial nostalgia, war memorialisation and the impossible longing for a lost golden age. Looped madrigals and cabaret cantatas mix with violin odes to evoke the fractured rituals of a magpie past.

A genre-defying piece at once both astute and absurd, Gone to the Dogs is a show about isolation and lost identity - both of self and nation; of the tyranny of memory and the fear of irrelevancy.

With support from according-wielding cabaret poet Helen Rice.

Wednesday 29th

Over the Garden Fence

For The Belper Fringe

Wednesday 29th June 2022  – 2.00pm

Strutts Community Centre, Derby Road, Belper.

We are Hayley Lamb and Louise Harris of Haylo Theatre. We are a two-woman theatre company who use the arts to explore and engage with issues affecting our communities. Multi-agency working within the health and social care sector has enabled us to explore ways in which the arts can connect with people on an emotive human level. We communicate through theatre, outside of the conventional theatre space.

Over the Garden Fence. This play encourages a person-centred approach and highlights the individual behind a diagnosis of dementia. 'Over the Garden Fence' follows the story of Annabelle and her Gran Dolly. Annabelle and the audience are taken on a nostalgic journey through Grans life, sharing memories of happiness, sorrow and joy. This fast paced, uplifting and comical exploration into family, life and relationships promotes an awareness of dementia that is accessible to all.

To meet the ever changing current situation we have also adapted our work online, 'Swimming with Memories' which is a virtual version of 'Over the Garden Fence' and is also available for booking.

This is a pay what you think event
