Archive: the first Big Buxton Conversation took place online on 24 April 2021.
The event invited people connected with Buxton to imagine the town in 2030 and explore the choices needed to get there. Transition Buxton hosted the free conversation with support from the National Lottery Community Fund; the process was designed by Transition Network UK.

The 2021 conversations
According to the organisers’ notes, 43 people joined the Zoom event, which ran from 10am to 3pm. Sketch artist Jenny Leonard made a visual record of the discussions; her illustrations appear in the notes.
The organisers say the first conversation led to the creation of the We Are Buxton Community Forum. A second conversation followed on 8 November 2021 at the Methodist Church.
