About the Belper Steam & Vintage Society.

The event was first established in 1989 as part of the Belper Festival fortnight. Since it's beginning, the event has grown and is now firmly established as one of the largest in the county. The event is held annually in June and has exhibits and attractions for the whole family. Whilst the enthusiasts will be engrossed in the vintage vehicles there will be plenty of charity, trade, craft and auto jumble stalls to keep spouses happy, including arena events and street entertainers to keep children occupied.

The event is run by a small committee and any profits are donated to local charitable organisations. Over the years these have included: The Belper Disabled Club, Belper Rugby Club, The British Red Cross, The Derbyshire Stoma Care Fund, NSPCC, Belper Boy's Brigade, St. John's Ambulance, Babington League of Friends, Duffield Friendship Group, Derbyshire Air Ambulance, Duffield Air Cadets, 1st Loscoe Scouts, as well as the Bernese Mountain Carters.

The Belper Steam and Vintage Event is a member of the National Traction Engine Trust and conforms to their standards and Code of Practice.
