Victorian era Opera House that is still in use today.
Buxton Opera House is a 902 seat theatre located in The Square, Buxton, Derbyshire, England. It hosts the annual Buxton Festival and, from 1994 to 2013, the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival as well as pantomime at Christmas, musicals and other entertainments year-round. Hosting live performances until 1927, the theatre then was used mostly as a cinema until 1976. In 1979, it was refurbished and reopened as a venue for live performance.
A great venue to grab a show
Whether you're more accustomed to the refined notes of a tenor or a full orchestral number, Buxton Opera House has performances to suit all tastes.

This concert hall is often on the itineraries of visitors to Buxton. But Buxton Opera House isn't the only highlight in the area. The Crescent, Devonshire Dome, and Pavilion Gardens are some other worthwhile attractions close by.

It would have been a good stay except for one thing...the bed mattress was terrible and I spent the night tossing and turning and only managed 3 hours sleep and I was speaking at a funeral the next day so it wasnt good. Eveything else was great so if they could just provide mattresses where the springs dont bite into your back, shoulders and thighs it would be a great place to stay

The bed was quite hard. We had to leave after the first night due to a family emergency. Is there any way we could get a partial refund?
