Buxton Festival has a special place in the hearts of music and literature lovers.  Our wide-ranging opera programme now includes two full-scale Festival productions. Add an outstanding concert and literature programme and we have a unique place in the British arts scene.  This is reflected by outstanding national media coverage and the trebling of our audience since 1999.
