FESTIVAL HISTORY
Heanor Festival began in 2005 as Market Towns Week, and was originally organised by Amber Valley Borough Council. They continued to organise Heanor Market Towns Week as an annual event over the next three years, after which time the community took over. It was renamed Heanor Festival and has continued to be organised by the community ever since.
