Buxton Festival
The Peak District hills host a friendly crowd of opera, music and literature lovers from all over the country during July’s Buxton Festival.
A morning literary series, afternoon concerts and rarely-performed opera in the evening offer a rich and unique cultural experience, attracting big names and a faithful audience to an historic and beautiful setting.

It is one of the only Festivals to specialise in producing rarely performed operas by major composers – each opera is staged uniquely for the Buxton audience and the intimate Opera House. In addition to the Festival’s own productions several touring operas feature on the programme each summer.
