Thank you to everyone who has knitted/crocheted and stitched etc in preparation for the 2025 Green Heart, #showthelove display in St Peter’s churchyard, Belper.
People are invited to put up their items on the trees, railings etc from Saturday February 1st. The church is open during the day between 9.00 am until 3 pm. You are welcome to go inside to use the toilet, however please be sensitive to the fact that there may be funerals or possibly other events happening. You are also welcome to install your pieces in the evenings if that is easier however please be aware of limited lighting and the church may be locked.
There will be rope around some of the trees for individual pieces to be attached to. Groups, or individuals are very welcome to decorate a complete tree. There is also some space along the railings near the church door. We do ask that cable ties and nails are not used. String and yarn are good to hang pieces up.
Please be aware of your safety and also that of the public looking at the display. We ask that you do not hang things above the height that you can safely reach, and that any scissors/needles used will be taken home.
Some of the trees along the very bumpy path (do be careful) that goes from the steps to Green Lane have nails in them already which can be used to hang things from.
Please be very careful when walking in the churchyard as the ground is bumpy and can be slippery. We will do our best to make sure any rubbish is removed but please do not handle things without using gloves.
On the night please arrive from 7pm and leave your clothes and accessories with the team to be sorted and displayed.
Refreshments are available while we get things ready.
7.30pm Ready Steady Swap!
If your items would look best on a hanger and you have some to bring that would be great.
