We are in the Pavilion Gardens Marquee but have lots of events and activities outside, including Gibbon Slacklines' Global City Balance Challenge 2017 (we're listed as 'Buxton Summer Festival').This year’s Fair has a new look - a 'Celebrating Summer' theme, with the Marquee and stalls decorated accordingly! As last year, it's FREE ENTRY. There's also the GRAND DRAW: £250 in cash prizes and many excellent prizes donated by local businesses (50p/ticket) ... and lots of new stuff outdoors for everyone in the family, including six food stalls if you are feeling peckish! Scroll to the bottom of the page for Outdoor Events Map and Time Table of Events.
Can you balance on a slackrack for 10 seconds? Help Buxton compete against other towns and cities around the World and enter as many persons as possible who can do this at our Summer Fair & Charity Bazaar. Organised by James Craig and other University of Derby students who can be seen slacklining regularly in the Gardens. For details, see Buxton Enters Global City Balance Challenge 2017
