An illustrated talk by Adrian Farmer. Belper Library, where big stars like Gracie Fields once performed, and the first moving images to be seen in Belper were screened, is the ideal venue for a look back at how Belper has entertained itself over the past two centuries. Adrian looks at menageries to funfairs, cinemas to theatre productions, carnivals to water fetes – and much more.
