Archive: This programme is from 2023. The Green Man Gallery closed to the public in December 2024.
The Green Man Gallery’s 2023 winter programme advertised art and crafts, live performances and an exhibition of work by local young people.
In the 2023 announcement, events manager Caroline Small said the gallery was celebrating its 11th birthday and helping to fill gaps caused by the temporary closure of Buxton Museum & Art Gallery.
After dry rot was found at the neighbouring museum, Small said in 2023 that she was optimistic the gallery’s steel frame had protected it from the problems next door.
Make a Gift of Art
The 2023 Winter Emporium advertised ceramics, handmade books, jewellery, prints, artwork and decorations.
The gallery’s 2023 announcement said the work on sale was made within a 30-mile radius of Buxton.
The Winter Emporium was advertised as open until 23 December 2023.
A Feast of Live Performance – Christmas carols, folk and pop!
The 2023 festive programme included live music.
Trilogy Ensemble’s A Classical Christmas was scheduled for 10 December 2023, with festive music for flute, harp and viola.
The programme also advertised a performance by singer-songwriter Hannah Brine on 15 December, with Clive Gregson, Jasmine Tandy and Jessica Sharratt.
Local schools exhibition and workshops
The gallery also advertised work by Buxton Community School students until mid-February 2024. Small said the usual schools exhibition at Buxton Museum would otherwise have been cancelled.
The December programme also listed The Cranky, an interactive installation by High Peak Community Arts, and the Buxton Pride Christmas Tree.
Community artist Gordon MacLellan, known as Creeping Toad, advertised a Festive Faces workshop for 9 December 2023, inspired by grotesques on Buxton buildings.

The programme also mentioned the Winter Warmers charity knitting and crochet project.
