📚 At BIF on 22 July, Helen Lewis will dive into her provocative new book, 'The Genius Myth: The Dangerous Allure of Rebels, Monsters and Rule‑Breakers' - 🧐 She asks, what makes a genius? The book boldly challenges our romanticised idea of genius: #buxton #bookfestival #peakdistrict

A lovely day of singing workshops, wonderfully led by Keelan Carew on 3,2,1, Blast Off by Samuel Kane which Year 5 students from three #Buxton Primary Schools have helped to create and will perform with #orchestra on Tuesday! @buxtonfestival.bsky.social 🪐 🚀

Delighted to be bringing @officialuom.bsky.social Chamber Choir to sing Neptune from the Planets at the @buxtonfestival.bsky.social Space Day next week! 🪐 🚀 #BIFSpaceDay #buxton #orchestra #choir

Great shout-out in today's Times from Matthew Parris, he's particularly looking forward to Shorts, our pioneering new series of 4 brand new 20 minute operas.
