About us

Note this group is closing on the 17th August 2026. But you can find me and my future events on the British History Group instead: https://www.meetup.com/british-history-tour-and-discussion-group/

Attention history lovers! We’ll meet up to go on historical walking tours, visit museums and attend historical events. We usually meet up at a cafe in the venue then go around as a group. You can also share a lift to and from the event where possible.

Step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and stories of Buxton’s rich past — and celebrate the heritage that continues to shape the town's future.
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:

-Living History Displays – Watch history unfold with reenactors in period costume demonstrating life in different eras.

-Vintage & Classic Vehicles – Admire a stunning selection of steam, cars, and bikes from days gone by.

-Traditional Fairground Rides – Enjoy the charm of old-fashioned amusements and games.

-Heritage Craft Demonstrations – See skilled artisans at work and learn about traditional techniques.

-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.
