Archive: this article describes the Buxton Flowerpot Trail in summer 2023.
Buxton community arts group Funny Wonders ran the family-friendly Flowerpot Trail in summer 2023.
To mark the return of the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival to Buxton in 2023, the trail’s theme was Gilbert and Sullivan operas, including pirates, fairies and modern major generals.
Creations were displayed around town during the 2023 trail.
Households, businesses, schools and community groups were invited to display flowerpot creations around Buxton and nearby villages. The photographs show flowerpot creations but have not been confirmed as 2023 entries.
The trail ran during July and August 2023 alongside Buxton’s summer festivals and was part of the Buxton Festival Fringe.
The festival announced a Best Flowerpot Creation award for that year’s trail.
In the original 2023 announcement, Funny Wonders’ artistic director Ali Quas-Cohen said the group wanted to celebrate the festival’s return and welcomed its support for the trail.
