Ever seen a fantastic art exhibition that’s left you wondering how the artist did it? High Peak Artists’ flagship annual event Art in the Octagon will take place again over three days from 13th – 15th July 2026 and the event will feature around 30 members of the group, not only displaying and selling their work but demonstrating their creative process.
These will include wood turning, jewellery making, weaving, silk painting, pottery, printmaking, photography techniques and lots, lots more. Artists will be confirmed nearer the time.
No ordinary show, every artist and maker will be demonstrating some element of their talent.
Come along and chat to your favourite artists like Sandra Orme, Jill Kerr, Pauline Townsend, Lisa Salt, Adele Kime, Tracey Coverley and many more. It’s a great event and what’s more it’s free to enter!
While you’re there, be sure to visit Gallery in the Gardens where High Peak Artists members sell their work all year-round. In addition, Waterstones will also have a pop-up book shop in The Octagon entrance as part of the Buxton International Festival. It’s sure to be a great day out.
