Welcome Welcome to the new season! We hope you enjoy browsing through this new season brochure. We’ve got some great new shows coming to our stage over the next few months, many of which have never been to Buxton before such as Gangsta Granny, Footloose and Hairspray. We are pleased to be working on our first co-production with Creative Cow and Malvern Theatres on the Graham Greene drama Our Man in Havana. We’d love it if you could come and support this project.

The Big Session festival line up has been confirmed for Friday 28 to Sunday 30 April with Oysterband headlining in the Opera House on Saturday and a Sunday night treat with the Levellers. Once again, the weekend leads into Buxton Spring Fair on the Bank Holiday Monday so there will be plenty of things happening in town if you want to make it a long weekend. We’re still planning the fringe activities, so the best way to keep up to date is by following our dedicated social media @bigsessionfest. We are delighted to have been awarded the Most Welcoming Theatre in the East Midlands for the second year running! This is a testament to the hard work of all our staff and volunteers, from the gleaming brass rails polished to perfection by our lovely housekeeping team to the smiling welcome from our volunteers. Winning an award like this helps to raise the profile of both the theatre and the town and we have our sights firmly set on the national award for 2017. To all our lovely customers who took the time to vote – thank you!
