Belper Marketplace is a central public space within the town of Belper, Derbyshire, England. Historically a site for traditional market trading dating back to the medieval period, it remains a focal point for community events and gatherings. The current paved square layout dates largely from renovations undertaken in the 20th century, although its function as a marketplace has been consistent throughout its history. It's surrounded by a mix of historic buildings reflecting Belper’s industrial heritage – particularly those associated with the Strutt family and the mill industry – alongside more modern commercial properties. The Marketplace regularly hosts farmers' markets, fairs, and outdoor performances, making it a versatile venue for public engagement. It falls within the Belper Conservation Area, designated to protect its architectural and historical significance.
