Festival Mass 5 July

It is with great regret that for the first time in forty years we must cancel the Buxton International Festival in July 2020. This is an enormous disappointment but the health and well-being of our audience, our volunteers, the BIF team and all the artists involved is of primary concern. By taking this difficult decision now we are safeguarding the Festival for the Future. Read our full statement here.

Please save the dates for next year’s Festival taking place 2 – 18 July 2021.

Musical Society and the Buxton Madrigal Singers, under the direction of Michael Williams MBE, present a special service (one of three during the Festival) in the atmospheric setting of St John’s Church.
