Festivals in Buxton
There’s no need to choose between the rejuvenating arts and culture of the city and escaping to the great outdoors of a remote town. In Buxton, we have it all!
The town has a programme of festivals and annual events throughout the year featuring theatre, music, literature, art, food and drink, heritage, comedy, traditional craft, art trails and memorial events.
