Come and celebrate Belper’s first EVER Pride event!

There will be a cafe in Number 28 as well as information, health, safety and well-being stalls - along side the rainbow fire engine from Derbyshire Fire and Rescue.
Down in the Memorial Gardens there will be a huge family activity space with story tellers, Twisting Tots, Boom magazine Bubbles and much more.
There is a live acoustic Rainbow Stage, sponsored by Derbyshire Fire and Rescue, with acts from 12-7pm. There will be food, drink and craft stalls and a great atmosphere! The Love Belper Independent shops will be decorating their windows with a rainbow theme.
PRIDE the Movie is being shown at the Ritz Cinema at 5.30pm with an introduction and post Q and A session from Dai Donovan!
Look out for loads of evening live acts and entertainment throughout the town during the evening.
This event is an inclusive event that doesn’t seek to highlight difference, but to celebrate the wonderful rich diversity within the town of Belper.
