In 2022, the Crescent programme included a question-and-answer session about the history and future of football in Buxton. The original report also described a display of Buxton FC trophies at the visitor centre.
2022 events for all the family
The 2022 programme included family activities, talks and workshops in the Assembly Rooms and the Pump Room.
Christmas Crafts for under 5s
Festive Pitter Patter, a playful session for under-fives and their grown-ups, was scheduled for 8 December 2022 in the Crescent Experience.
Christmas story telling in The Assembly Rooms
Christmas storytelling in the Assembly Rooms was scheduled for 22 December 2022, featuring Pigeon Post – a Coo at the Crescent.
It was a cold, damp December night but Parkin and Pip were excited to be on their way. They had heard all about the Crescent in Buxton from their friends who had already moved there and it sounded wonderful! Dark and drafty with broken windows and no humans, it was everything they had dreamed of. The perfect place to bring up their family…
The advertised sessions included storytelling, a keepsake and craft activities such as making paper birds and messages for the pigeon post.
The original announcement also mentioned milk and cookies for children and Christmas cordial for adults.
The 90-minute sessions were designed for children aged two to twelve.
David Nolan: an author talk in 2022
David Nolan was billed as “The King of Manc Noir” for the talk. His crime novels are set in the North West and draw on his experiences as a journalist.
The 2022 feature described The Ballad of Hanging Lees alongside his earlier novels Black Moss and The Mermaid’s Pool.
Nolan became a fiction writer by accident after a successful run of music biographies, including books on Tony Wilson, the Sex Pistols and Ed Sheeran but a crime from his own childhood changed all that.
David Nolan was scheduled to speak at the Pump Room on 7 December 2022.
The announcement said drinks would be available during the evening.
The advertised programme included audience questions and a book signing.
Christmas Shopping at The Pump Room
The 2022 feature also described gifts and souvenirs at Buxton Visitor Centre, including a children’s corner.
At the time, the shop advertised Buxton Brewery gift sets, ceramics, diffusers, cards, maps and local-interest books.
The Buxton Crescent Experience
The 2022 feature described guided tours and general admission. For current visits and ticket information, see the Buxton Crescent Experience.
The feature described an interactive exhibition about Buxton’s history, including a virtual-reality hot-air balloon flight.
Buxton’s Dickensian Ball in 2023
In 2022, a Dickensian Ball was planned for early 2023 after the originally advertised November 2022 date was postponed.
