Rave Reviews for Buxton International Festival!
We're thrilled that Buxton International Festival has received fantastic reviews from top critics this year.
George Hall from The Stage writes “Few UK events can match the Buxton International Festival either for its appealing location, or for the quantity – as well as the quality – of its offerings, whether in opera, books or music."
And from John Allison at The Telegraph, “The Buxton International Festival still feels more festive than any other arts jamboree so far this summer.”
The great news is that there's still time to book tickets for most of our acclaimed productions including Acis and Galatea, The Dancing Master, Cendrillon and A Little Night Music. To help you choose, we've included a selection of reviews in this article.
