About Amber Valley's arts scene

Belper Music Festival takes place over a weekend in June or July. It features a host of musicians and bands from around the UK, as well as stalls, children's entertainment, workshops and much more. 

The Emerge Festival of Music Dance and Diversity takes place at Shipley Country Park each year and Crich Tramway Museum hosts the Crich Tramway Village Folk Festival, a two day long festival of folk music.

Also in the village of Crich is Crich Stand that is visible across many of the surrounding Counties and which commemorates fallen Sherwood Foresters; and the village of Crich and the Amber Valley area were the setting for the ITV series, Peak Practice.
