Moreover, the venue brings a city like atmosphere to this market town. I like the Opera house and the wide variety of different operas, theaters, concerts, musicals, and comedies they offer.

The Palace Hotel is a very grand building in a commanding position close to the railway station and…read moretown centre. It exudes Victorian grandeur but this grandeur is slightly faded. Much has obviously been done to keep the old place in a good state. The decorations are in a good condition and there are nice carpets throughout. It is beautiful inside as well as outside. The bedroom was very good, not luxurious but comfortable, clean, and had all the expected amenities The small bathroom was excellent and the shower worked perfectly. Some things let the place down. I had to wait 15 minutes to check in, in a long queue. The Wi-Fi is free only in the reception and restaurant area, but in the bedrooms you have to pay quite a lot for Wi-Fi. The lift works but is slow and has eccentricities in operation that you need to learn. The hotel boasts a good swimming pool with a tiny sauna and steam room attached, but this too is not free to hotel guests unless booked as an extra in advance. Breakfast was self-service and plentiful but the coffee was from a machine. Unfortunately although the restaurant wasn't at all full things like juice, brown bread, or cooked breakfast ingredients kept running out and staff could not keep up with replenishment. In fairness I got a good deal to stay there and I would stay there again, but a bit more management attention to detail wouldn't go amiss.

Buxton Museum & Art Gallery is a smallish venue in the town centre, with modest exhibits of…read morehistorical objects and paintings (on the upper floor) which also offers a glimpse into the history of Buxton. There are some genuine artefacts on display, most obviously the "Buxton Mermaid" (see photo) - in the 19th century, people like the infamous P.T. Barnum displayed such objects as genuine "mummified mermaids"! Unfortunately, it's all downhill from there: the mostly modern paintings on the upper floor are insignificant, made by local artists - but they do add to the "community feel" of the place, and as suggested by the many posters and leaflets lying around, the museum plays an important part in the communal activities of the town. The entry is free, and you're allowed to take photos. So if you're close by, why not drop in for a half hour on a rainy day.

Some great displays and amazing art work, especially the art work from local schools.read more

They brought props that matched our theme, and provided prints of great quality. We bought the unlimited prints package, and it was very much worth it. They arrived early at the venue to set up, and stayed until the very end. Everyone who attended left saying that the photobooth was a lot of fun and we would definitely hire Jan and Ronaldo again!

Here you can do everything there is to possibly do on a riverside promenade; things such as walk, ride a bike, look at the water and...um...well that's about it. I suppose you could rollerblade if you wanted. If it's a warm day and you don't mind the style your hair will be sculpted into by the blustering gales, you can follow the prom and its interconnecting paths right up to the Pier Head. If you don't fancy that, try and unearth the ruins of the 1984 Garden Festival, which lies hidden by tree trunks and weeds. You don't know how overtly creepy something is until you accidentally stumble across a kid's overgrown swing park. I still have nightmares.

I absolutely love the promenade; walking along beside the river with the breathtaking view of the Welsh hills in the background is really relaxing, there's lots of cyclists and dog-walkers around and it's a lovely environment on a clear sunny day. The park which was renovated through the 'Pride in our Proms' project is Amazing. It's a mini world of Big Kid heaven... for me anyway I regressed about 10 years and was on the swings, seesaw and monkey bars, and when we'd totally worn ourselves out running around and taking cool scenic pictures of the sunset we went for a well earned pint from the Otterspool pub which is handily a hop skip and a cartwheel across the park. Go fly a kite, see the sights, play on the park and grab a pint!
