What's on
For our final New Horizons event of 2025, we will be heading north to another Derbyshire market town – this time we’re heading to the wonderful spa town of Buxton.
A focus on the connection of arts and tourism in the Peak District.
A creative networking, training and sharing social for Arts Derbyshire members
We’ll be exploring how cultural activity – festivals, heritage interpretation, walking experiences, and arts trails—can deepen visitor engagement and contribute to the region’s identity and economy. The session will be informal but purposeful, bringing together colleagues from across the arts, tourism and heritage sectors to share insights and shape future collaboration.
Panel:
Lindsay Rae, Deputy Director & Head of Industry Engagement at Visit Peak District
Louise Shannon, Head of Collections and Cultural Programme at Chatsworth House
Jennifer Spencer, Chair of Buxton Crescent Heritage Trust
