Devonshire Dome

We welcome guests to the Devonshire Dome, one of Buxton's most distinctive historic buildings and the home of the University of Derby's Buxton Campus. Our Dome combines remarkable heritage architecture with modern facilities, creating a setting that works for education, business, celebrations and major events. Built in 1779 by the 5th Duke of Devonshire, our Grade II* listed building has become a landmark in the centre of Buxton. We provide spaces and facilities that support conferences, meetings, corporate events, professional development, staff away days, talks, presentations and celebrations. Our campus also includes Harpurs Bistro, seven commercial kitchens, cafés, specialist teaching facilities, media and IT hubs and other facilities that can support different types of organised activities. We are conveniently located on Devonshire Road, close to Buxton town centre and within walking distance of Buxton railway station. Whether guests are attending an organised event, ceremony or meeting, we offer a distinctive historic environment combined with the practical facilities of a modern university campus.
