Made in Buxton

The Made in Buxton is a year‑long programme celebrating Buxton’s rich heritage of making — from industry and engineering to textiles, repair and everyday skills. Throughout the year local people to share memories, objects and stories that reveal how Buxton was made.
Buxton Crescent Heritage Trust will shine a spotlight on Buxton’s long and varied history of making — from corsetry and millinery to quarrying, engineering and everyday craft skills passed down through generations.

Events delivered with Transition Buxton CIC as part of the Derbyshire Makes History programme, will run throughout 2026, inviting local people of all ages to explore, share and celebrate the skills, industries and creativity that shaped the town.

The project brings together talks, walks, workshops, exhibitions, creative commissions and story gathering, creating a lively programme that blends hands on making with local heritage.
