Buxton Events

Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show is a week-long display of gardening inspiration, bursts of summer blooms and colour. It’s held every June at the grand and gracious Chatsworth Estate. 

This programme of visiting comedy, theatre, dance and street performances coincides with the Buxton Festival. For more than 40 years it has enjoyed a reputation as one of the largest independent Fringes in the country.  

Buxton Arts Festival is recognised internationally as one of the UK’s leading arts festivals. It’s a summer celebration of the very best opera, music and literature. It has taken place every year ever since 1936, with highlight opera performances at the magnificently restored Buxton Opera House.

These run throughout England as an annual celebration of local history, architecture and culture. It’s a once-a-year opportunity to visit private properties when owners open their doors to the public. This is a special September event that casts a light on what makes communities special.
