Amazing theatre and fantastic performance - of Pirates of Penzance. My 12 yr old son's first musical theatre, brilliantly staged and performed. Great value seats with full view in the Upper Stalls, from which we could see the orchestra too. Drinks are also reasonably priced. Long may this brilliant venue thrive!

The show full monty was great, but getting the audience inside was a fiasco, like they'd never done it before. Queues for the toilets were silly, still very long at the end of the interval. I feel this needs a lot of investment.

Amazing venue, very intimate although feels so grand and embracing. Harry Hill was amazing, so good the audience carried him to his car!

Recently visited to watch 2 Pints with Will and Ralf. Lovely venue, not too big or small. Lovely little ice cream hatch to the left of the stalls at half time.

Always something different on at the Opera house from local to famous people. The building its self is worth a visit ,amazing architecture. Right next door to the Buxton Pavilion Gardens n Octogen

Quaint and nicely restored Opera House. We enjoyed seeing Ben Fogle's motivational talk about his life and adventures. Bar facilities available. Sat in the Dress Circle and had a great experience. Plenty of parking nearby. Restricted movement in the seats but highly recommended.

We went to see Around the world in 80 days. It was a great show sadly the theatre was only half full. The theatre itself is beautiful

Brilliant night at Buxton opera house! Sir Ranaulf Fiennes! Wow! Every seat taken! Brilliant helpful staff to show you to your seat and the venue is breathtaking. Stunning building! Highly recommend!

1st visit to the opera house. It took me back abit. The old fashion velvet seats. Very comfortable. Staff very welcoming. Nothing too much trouble. Very informative. The bar has a small area so pre-book you're Interval drinks makes it so much easier and quicker.

A beautiful venue and the staff are always polite and friendly. Went to see Toyah and Roberts Sunday Lunch. Was so entertaining!! Had a great night!

The Buxton Opera house is truly a beautiful building and has been restored to a high standard. The staff were really friendly and very accommodating throughout. We sat in row B and even though some have reviewed that the seats have no leg room, we found it sufficient. The queues for the toilets, bar and ice cream were quite busy but as our performance wasn't a sell out they were bearable. I think on more busy performances, this could be problematic. Disabled parking is very limited, but due to its location I don't believe this can be improved. Overall, we will definitely be returning to this venue.

Ballet Giselle - superb little opera house. Our first visit but we have already booked Swan Lake in Jan. The best seats probably vary with what type of show it is but for ballet I always like stalls near the stage. The photos show a seated eye level view from rows A B C D & F.

What a beautiful building , like most old theatres it’s quite small inside, not much wriggle room in the seats. The interval queues for the toilets where pretty bad, but I would absolutely attend other shows here

Lovely place with good shows, not a lot to complain about thoth the toilets were very very small

Buxton Opera House is a lovely building inside and out. The theatre is quite dated but with exquisite wall and ceiling décor! Although the seats were quite hard, narrower than other theatre seats and also tight in leg space for people who are taller than 5ft 3inches. We watched Steve Steinman's Vampires Rock 2023 with Lorraine Crosby as the Vampire Queen on Saturday, 28th January, 7.30pm (it ended at 10.20pm with extra sing-along and stand up dancing). The show was great fun with audience interaction from Steve/the Baron. The theatre is quite compact so the audience, especially where we were in the stalls, had a great view. Free parking is available after 6pm at the nearby Pavilion Garden car park (about 3 mins walk). The park (with water fountain, bridge, boating lake) is a quick walk away from the Opera House as are many restaurants. Recommend to book in advance for any shows/movies shown. I booked the show tickets (£36.50 pp) online, with extra protection in case of cancellation for £2.19 per person, through the Buxton Opera House website. I chose to collect the tickets at the box office, which I did a day before the show date. The lovely lady at the box office was so friendly and helpful. A must visit at least if you are in or around the Buxton area!

What a great little venue. I came to see Marc Almond in October 22 and from the initial greeting from the team right through to Marc's performance, it was good old fashioned service and quality. The venue is as much as a star as the performers. I was in awe gazing around the theatre and felt transported back in time, when things were simpler and nicer. Well worth a night out to see anything if not just to enjoy the venue and setting.

Attended with my partner to see a favourite group after missing events during the pandemic. First time to the venue as wheelchair user ♿️ Excellent experience from start to finish, thanks to everyone at Buxton Opera House. Tickets arrived in the post prior to the event. It's great to have as a momento! Wheelchair access to the side of the main entrance and adapted facilities are available. The staff were extremely helpful hosts. Beautiful, historic building with great atmosphere. A must do experience if you get the opportunity

Beautiful building…. We didn’t go in but has pantomime and ballets as well as musical shows…. Very ornate and just a pleasure to look at all the details on this historic building

Beautiful theatre, well maintained, friendly staff, always a pleasure to go to events here

Such a beautiful theatre and the staff there were all so helpful and friendly. The set for the Panto was amazing as was the Panto itself, Aladdin. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely old theatre, a small intimate setting for plays, musicals, concerts and comedy shows. A very small bar and no mod cons, everything squeezed into the original old building, it's wonderful.

I love everything about this venue except how tight the seating is, no legroom whatsoever. Great scenic location, free parking, friendly staff. Iconic historic building.

Excellent intimate place for a show, all seats are not too far away from the stage. The decor is stunning. Drink prices were quite reasonable for a venue like this. Only downside as me being 6 foot tall, the seats are very small. Apart from that-recommended.
