From historic living history to hands-on heritage crafts, the Buxton Heritage Weekend brings history to life with a wide range of attractions and activities, including:

-Local and Artisan Stalls – Discover unique gifts, local produce, handmade crafts, and much more.
We will meet at the Dandelion coffee shop (5, Grove Parade, Buxton SK17 6AJ) for 11am, and after waiting for folks we'll go and explore the events happening around this beautiful town. After a bit we'll get something to eat at a cafe, and continue enjoying the places and things to do!
The heritage weekend is free to attend, though some exhibitions and activities may cost money. We can decide what to do on the day, though I'll keep an eye on the event details to see what's happening in advance.
