BUXTON INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVE 2-FOR-1 TICKET OFFER AS COUNTDOWN TO THE 2026 FESTIVAL APPROACHES

As the final countdown to this year’s Buxton International Festival (9-26 July) is underway, the festival has launched a limited-time 2-for-1 ticket offer across a selection of opera, music and jazz performances from today.  Visitors can redeem the offer by entering the relevant promotional code when booking tickets online.

To celebrate the countdown to opening night and give performers the warm Buxton welcome they deserve, the Festival is inviting audiences to bring a friend or family member for free. We hope the initiative will encourage even more people to experience the exceptional programme on offer while ensuring artists perform to full and enthusiastic audiences.”
