About this event

Well dressing is a unique and cherished tradition in Amber Valley where communities create stunning floral displays to decorate wells, springs, and water sources. This centuries-old custom, believed to have originated in the 18th Century, involves intricate designs made from flower petals, moss, seeds, and other natural materials. 

Towns and villages across Amber Valley, including Swanwick and Belper, host annual well dressing events, typically in June/July, with beautiful displays that reflect local history, religious themes, and community spirit. These events offer a wonderful opportunity to experience Amber Valley's rich heritage while admiring the artistic talents of local residents.
