Belper Pubs Join Forces to Launch New Magazine Celebrating the Town’s Social Scene

Belper’s thriving pub and social scene is getting its own magazine after local venues teamed up to create a new publication dedicated to life in the town.

The new magazine will be called Belper Pub & Social, and it will feature news, stories and updates about what is happening across Belper’s pubs, bars, cafés and venues.

The publication will be available both online and in printed form, with copies expected to appear in many pubs and cafés around Belper.

Celebrating Belper’s social life

The aim of the magazine is to shine a light on the lively social scene that has grown in Belper in recent years.

Readers can expect stories about local pubs, upcoming events, live music, community gatherings and the characters who help make the town’s nightlife and social life unique.

The publication will also highlight new venues, special events and the many different types of places people can enjoy in Belper, from traditional pubs and real ale bars to cafés and restaurants.

Free editorial for local groups and pubs

Organisers say one of the key aims of the magazine is to help local pubs, clubs and community groups promote what they are doing.

Editorial coverage about social events and happenings in the town will be free for pubs, clubs and community groups wanting to get their message across.

The team hope this will help bring together everything that is happening locally in one place and make it easier for residents to discover events happening across Belper.

Extending the reach beyond Belper

Each story featured in the magazine will also become a stand-alone news blog on Derbyshire.News.

This means events, venues and stories featured in the magazine will reach a much wider audience across Derbyshire and beyond.

The idea is not only to keep locals informed but also to attract new visitors to Belper, encouraging people from across the county to come and experience the town’s pubs, cafés and social life for themselves.

Backed by Belper and Proud

The magazine is being produced by the team behind Belper and Proud, which has built one of the largest online followings focused on Belper and its community.

Their social media pages regularly share local news, events and stories that celebrate life in the town, attracting thousands of followers and strong engagement from residents.

The team say the new magazine is a natural next step in bringing Belper’s social scene together.

Printed locally in Belper

One of the unique aspects of the project is that the magazine will be designed, printed and produced entirely in Belper.

The Belper and Proud team operate a state-of-the-art digital production printing press, allowing the publication to be created locally by local people.

Supporters of the project say this approach keeps the entire process within the town while supporting local businesses.

Available across town

Once launched, printed copies of Belper Pub & Social will be available to pick up in pubs, bars and cafés across Belper.

The magazine will also be available online, shared widely across social media and published through Derbyshire.News so readers can easily access it from anywhere.

Organisers say the publication will also be advertised aggressively across social media platforms and local networks to make sure as many people as possible hear about what is happening in Belper.

The aim is not only to keep local residents informed but also to attract visitors from across Derbyshire and beyond, encouraging more people to come into Belper and experience the town’s pubs, cafés and social scene.

With pubs working together, local stories being shared, and everything printed right here in town, Belper Pub & Social hopes to become a new voice for the town’s busy and ever-growing social scene.

And if the organisers have their way, the message will soon spread far beyond Belper, showing the rest of Derbyshire exactly how the town rolls when it comes to a good social life.
