BUXTON OPERA HOUSE ANNOUNCES TAYLOR EMMET SOLICITORS AS NEW ANNUAL PARTNER

Buxton Opera House and Taylor Emmet Solicitors are delighted to be joining forces in a new venture which sees the local solicitors become a lead partner of the iconic Theatre in The Hills in 2026.

Coinciding with the opening of the new Taylor Emmet Peak District office in Bakewell, the leading law firm are sponsoring the Opera House throughout next year across all the theatre’s home-grown ‘Created in Buxton’ productions, BOH Creates community engagement work, and more.

Buxton Opera House CEO, Paul Kerryson, said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Taylor Emmet Solicitors as a lead partner for 2026. This fantastic new venture directly supports our own ‘Created in Buxton’ productions, and community engagement programme, helping to fuel a spectacular year of local theatre. Their support helps bring to life our biggest home-grown productions, including our community-written play, The Buxton Faun, the community musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and our festive family show and 2026 pantomime.

“As a registered charity, sponsorships like this are vital to securing the future of our beautiful theatres and ensuring our stage remains a vibrant platform for local talent”.

Martin Sissons, Partner at Taylor Emmet’s Peak District Office, said:

“We’re incredibly proud to become an official partner of Buxton Opera House. Their venues are not only cultural landmarks but vital community assets that bring creativity, opportunity and economic value to the High Peak. Supporting an organisation that champions young talent, connects communities through the arts, and safeguards such an important part of our local heritage aligns perfectly with our values at Taylor Emmet.

“The opening of our new Peak District office marks an important step in deepening our presence within the community, and this partnership reflects our long-term commitment to the region. We’re excited to play our part in supporting both local people and local culture, and we look forward to building strong relationships for many years to come.”
