Pavilion Gardens in Buxton hosts over 100 lively community events each year. The historic venue features craft fairs, antique markets, and food festivals inside the stunning Octagon Hall and outdoor spaces. Visitors can enjoy live music on the bandstand, seasonal fetes, and family activities like miniature train rides. These vibrant cultural gatherings bring people together in a beautiful 23-acre park setting all year long.
The bandstand is an exceptional outdoor civil ceremony space nestled in 23-acres of the Victorian landscaped public park. The river Wye flows behind the bandstand and through the park, which also boasts a variety of wildlife. The area is one of a kind in the area and offers an alfresco style service. Seating up to 50 guests or 70 standing and has its own power supply which allows music to be played throughout the ceremony.
The Conservatory offers a beautiful backdrop of colourful exotic plants and is maintained on a regular basis by our own horticulturist. It is a truly individual location which offers a bespoke feel to your wedding. The area holds up to 34 seated guests or 80 standing. There's no need to hire flowers to decorate the space as the conservatory speaks for itself.
The concert hall, now known as the Octagon, was originally designed by architect Robert Rippon Duke and was opened in 1875. The Grade II listed building is one of the largest 8-sided buildings in Europe. The grandeur of the Octagon is difficult to appreciate until it's experienced and therefore it's highly recommended to viewing it for yourself. Holding up to 1200 guests standing and 1000 seated (chairs only – not tables), the space could be used to host both a civil ceremony and evening reception all under one roof. For a wedding, a minimum of 100 guests is advisable due to the large space.
For evening receptions in the Pavilion Restaurant a minimum of 50 guests are expected for access. The Pavilion Restaurant is only available in the evenings from 7pm.
The Octagon Lounge is most commonly used in conjunction with the Octagon, adding to the grand space that it offers. It can however be closed off to create a dynamic space which seats up to 50 people comfortably.
The Boardroom is the perfect location for working on digital projects, video conferences, meetings and presentations. It has a larger capacity than the Committee Room, but still offers an intimate and private space.
Launched in September 2012 after a comprehensive refurbishment of the facility, which is jointly managed by Buxton Opera House and Pavilion Gardens, The Pavilion Arts Centre offers a prestigious environment to host all types of events.
