Belper Town Council

Also in No.28 between 10 am and 4 pm on Saturday 18th we are holding our first interactive day, " An introduction to Woollen Woods".

This will be an educationally themed event supported by Belper Arts Festival. North Mill Volunteers will be raising awareness of the relaunch of the "Millie the Mill Mouse" book and tour aimed at families with younger children. Adrian Farmer will also represent The North Mill through a bookable talk and walk again aimed at families, where he will include a few characters on the trees to tell stories about Belper's History. Research has shown that a Dane , possibly Seward Barn, was given the area prior to the De Ferrers family, urging myself and Suz Henessey to add to the Viking tree we created last year. Viking re enactor Erna, representing the Belper Group based at The Strutts Community Centre, will be demonstrating Viking crafts along with myself. The Viking themed Lords of Vallhalla rock band will have a presence later in the day for a short time. And lastly Seiko Kinoshita, a textile artist with the Vital Valley project, is hoping to come and weave with the public... and who knows what else may happen... after all its the 50th Birthday of the Hungry Caterpillar !! I'm sure there will be one in the Woods !! Anne Clarke will host a cafe from 10 am until around 2pm in support of St Peters Community Garden, so perhaps a birthday cake ??? » Less
