If you're planning an adventure to the UK, depending on your nationality and your reason for visiting, you may need to organise a visa.
If you're an American, Canadian or Australian tourist, you'll be able to travel visa-free throughout the UK, providing you have a valid passport and your reason for visiting meets the immigration rules (link is external).
Citizens from some South American and Caribbean countries as well as Japan are also able to travel visa-free around the UK.
European Union citizens, non-EU member states of the EEA (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland), Switzerland, and members of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) do not need a visa to enter the UK.
If you have any further visa questions visit the official UK government website.

Forever Belper

Sometimes you have to move away to appreciate where you came from. And when you come back you find those roots are even deeper.
Forever Belper is a song that reflects the affection that people have for a town that has a remarkable history coupled with the ability to regularly reinvent itself through the drive and initiatives of its residents. The song also portrays the diversity and the breadth of the town, from the charm of the river and its gardens, the historical deer park, to St. John's Chapel and the estates of Far Laund. Ultimately any town is its people and the word 'community' is a word that is often found juxtaposed with Belper. Long may it continue.
'This is the official video and release of Forever Belper, sung by Chelsea-anne Richter. It is a song created by local people for the town of Belper so it was important to us to make this as accessible as possible. You can download and learn the song if you so desire (see web link). It's also an entrant in the Belper Town Council's 'Song For Belper' competition. Please enjoy the track we have produced, read about all involved and... wish us luck!' - James Oldrini
Local videographer James Reader of Front Row Films has worked on creating a video that complements the music and showcases Belper's beautiful scenery and its people.
The video tells the story of a senior lady born and bred in Belper who returns to the town, reminiscing in its heritage and reflects on her past. James also felt that it was important to include some of the typical day-to-day culture of the town and get a real insight to typical Belper life.

It still has it's art deco style and stained glassed windows and is described as the finest surviving example of Art Deco architecture in North Lincolnshire. Thanks to John Portlock for the old photos taken in 1981.
