A guided walk around Beth's Poetry Trail. The trail is named after Beth Fender, a local poet who died in 2002. As a tribute, a trail was installed with poems in various locations around Belper that take into account the setting and displayed using a sympathetic medium.

The installations were commissioned from Derbyshire artists and some local poets.

Walk and poetry - Meet by the bandstand in Belper River Gardens. ||

Pay-and-display parking is nearby and there is a Transpeak bus stop on the road close to the Gardens entrance.. About 7 minutes walk from the Railway station.


The walk will be led by two of the founders of the trail and all profits will go towards supporting the maintenance of the trail.
