Out and About

On the doorstep the Pavilion Gardens offer pleasant walks, the band on a Sunday and the miniature railway! The Pavilion and Octagon regularly host fairs, exhibitions, auctions and next door you will find the swimming pool.

The Opera House is the centre of entertainment offering a full range of musical and non musical productions, and hosts the Buxton Opera Festival and Gilbert and Sullivan festivals in the Summer.

In addition Buxton boasts the largest fringe theatre festival outside Edinburgh, the Four Four Time world wide music festival, the puppet festival, comedy club, acoustic music venues, exhibitions at the Museum and a traditional market.

Architecturally the jewel in the crown is John Carr’s Crescent which will be reopened as the first Spa hotel in Britain.

Not to be missed are the magnificent Devonshire Campus of Derby University, Broad Walk, The Old Hall Hotel and St John’s church. Poole’s Cavern and Solomon’s temple are also a short walk from Grosvenor House.
