Authors Assemble 2025

Authors Assemble is an unmissable literary celebration, bringing together talented writers with ties to Derbyshire and those who have collaborated with the Buxton Crescent Heritage Trust.
This dynamic event showcases authors from a wide range of genres, offering book lovers the chance to discover new voices, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and immerse themselves in the magic of storytelling.

Set in the stunning Assembly Rooms, this gathering also honours the venue’s history as Buxton’s beloved town library from 1972 to 1992—a cherished chapter in the town’s cultural heritage.

Whether you’re an avid reader, an aspiring writer, or simply someone who loves a good story, Authors Assemble promises inspiration, discovery, and the opportunity to meet the brilliant minds behind the books.

Visitors will also gain insight into the incredible work of the Buxton Crescent Heritage Trust, all while soaking in the elegant surroundings of this historic venue.
