Buxton Festival Fringe 2025

The Buxton Festival Fringe 2025 lineup looks set to be the best ever.

The Buxton Festival, renowned for its world-class opera and classical music performances, is undoubtedly a highlight of the Derbyshire summer. But did you know that a vibrant and eclectic counterpoint is nestled amongst the grandeur of the main festival: the Buxton Festival Fringe?

From July 9th to 27th, 2025, the town will explode with over 500 Fringe events. Each one will offer a refreshing alternative to the main festival’s more formal atmosphere.

Expect the Unexpected

The Fringe embraces the experimental, the quirky, and the downright surprising. Think intimate theatre productions tucked away in cosy pubs. Or live music spilling onto the cobbled streets and impromptu dance performances popping up in unexpected places.

A Celebration of Creativity

This is a chance for local and emerging artists to shine, showcasing a diverse range of talent from street performers to cabaret shows, poetry readings and open mic nights.

A Unique Buxton Experience

The Fringe offers a glimpse into the town’s vibrant artistic soul, allowing visitors to connect with the local community and discover hidden gems they might otherwise miss.

What to Expect in 2025

Comedy

Get ready to laugh with Kevin O’Brien’s “ABC of One-Liners,” enjoy the award-winning “Me Time” by Feather Fixer, and prepare for the hilarious “Bad Fatty” by Stuart Thomas.

Music

Dance to the infectious rhythms of the High Peak Big Band at the “Big Band Brewery Bonanza,” be enchanted by the folk melodies of Chris Milner, and experience the unique sounds of the Gifts from Crows Trio.

So, while you’re in Buxton for the main festival, be sure to venture off the beaten path and explore the vibrant energy of the Fringe. You might just discover your new favorite artist, or enjoy the unexpected delights that await around every corner.
