Buxton Festival

What an amazing event this fabulous Spa town puts on. Hundreds of musicians, actors, singers, artists put on a three week festival in the wonderful buildings. It takes you back to another era. Hard to believe Buxton sits in the middle of the rolling Derbyshire countryside. We booked in 4 events, Budapest Cafe (a swinging quartet which included Alec Dankworth son of Cleo and Johnnie), Stephan Grapelli tribute, Teleman and the London Concertante! Brilliant.

Loved the wealthy farmer types in the their brogues and twill suits... yes even in summer.
