Creativity lives here
Proudly operated by High Peak Theatre Trust, Buxton Opera House is an award-winning arts charity. More than our magnificent heritage buildings, we are the vibrant cultural heartbeat in the High Peak.
At Buxton Opera House, we stand for entertainment, community, and heritage. Driven by creativity, our mission is to build inspiring opportunities with and for our audiences, creating theatre experiences that resonate locally and globally.
With over 450 shows annually, and as home to the Buxton International Festival and the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival, we bring world-class live entertainment to our communities. We produce and co-produce original work, from bold new writing to beloved classics, staged in Buxton and beyond.
But we’re more than what happens on stage. We’re a creative hub for artists, educators, volunteers, and makers. Through our Buxton Opera House Creates programme, we spark creativity and support lifelong learning, helping people of all ages discover new skills, passions, and confidence.
