Individuals can make a practical and lasting contribution to ensure the future of Buxton Festival by leaving a legacy or making a donation to the Buxton Festival Foundation.  The Foundation was established in 2002 as an endowment fund to safeguard the long-term future of the Festival, to enable it to maintain high artistic standards and to plan ahead with confidence.  Grants from the Foundation will support the Festival’s artistic policy of presenting less frequently performed operas, thereby complementing other major opera companies and of involving the people of Buxton and the surrounding area in creative arts activity.

If you would like to help safeguard the long-term future of the Buxton Festival by either leaving a legacy or making a donation of £1,000 or more, please send for a detailed fact sheet we have prepared on legacies, the making of wills and tax-effective ways of giving.  The Foundation is a registered charity and therefore legacies made to it are not liable for Inheritance Tax and donations are tax-effective.
