The Pavilion Gardens are a beautiful Victorian jewel in the heart of the town, encompassing parkland and a series of venues including Buxton Opera House. Buxton Wool Gathering will be held in the Octagon Room. Originally a concert hall, this Grade II listed building is one of the largest eight-sided rooms in Europe.

There is on site Pay-and-Display parking of approximately £5 for the day, although it is free for blue badge holders. Further parking can be found throughout Buxton, also on a Pay-and-Display basis. The venue offers full wheelchair access to the Octagon Room as well as disabled parking bays, with disabled toilets accessed by Radar key. Food and drink will be available from the café, restaurant, and coffee shop on site.

Please note there is no cash machine on site. While many stallholders will provide the opportunity to pay by debit and credit card, not all will and smaller purchases will need to be made by cash. We suggest bringing plenty of cash with you. However, there are cash machines in Buxton town centre for you to use.

If you have any questions please contact the venue directly and they’ll be happy to help you.
