So this year's 50th festival is going to be totally cool in every sense of the word.
☀ And because the weather's looking so good, and this is after all number 50, we're expecting a heavy turnout.
It looks like being very cosy. And remember NO Gazebos, pretty please!
Our beach garden is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some quality time with a group of friends or the family. A real sun trap that you won't want to leave.
Funding decisions on the future of the NHS should be taken out of party politics and handed over to an autonomous body in the same way the Bank of England decides interest rates, former doctor and best-selling author Adam Kay told Buxton International Festival.
Adam published his book This Is Going To Hurt, which has sold more than 400,000 copies, to counter what he called the Government lie that the junior doctors’ strike had been about pay. The book is based on hilarious, moving and often heart-breaking entries in a diary he kept as he was training.
