Fringe Fringe 2022

Welcome to the Belper Fringe 2022. With the community still recovering from the effects of the pandemic, the Belper Fringe will not be limited to May this year. We already have a number of events planned, beginning with 3 comedy shows in May for children and adults from Rockcentral. Soprano singer Margaet Keys returns once again in June, Woollen Woods will be presenting their work in Parks Woodland and The Bohemians will bring us the music of Queen in September.

If you have an idea for an event in Belper this year, please get in touch and we will help as much as we can.

You can keep in touch with all our events on our events page and our regular facebook posts. Thank you to the committee and supporters who are working hard to ensure belper fringe happens.

Carol Brewer wrote this poem for the the Belper Fringe fundraising event for the Ukraine

PLACARDS & TEARS

Living out of a backpack for movement with ease

Station platforms now sanctuary for distraught refugees

Waiting rooms stacked with donated supplies

Strangers united by despair in their eyes

Escaping bombardment, the shelling, the fear

Their welcome relief met with placards and tears

Persecution, invasion, the horror of war

A repeat of harsh lessons unlearned from before

Divisive decisions to save and protect

Relying on kindness from those never met
