Park Your Thoughts A simple park bench. The complex inner world of those who sit there. Have you noticed those people? Were you one of them? What takes us there? A desire to be alone and contemplate? To be among others? To have fun? To enjoy nature? To make sense of thoughts and feelings? |

Children can enjoy some quality entertainment at Buxton Opera House & Pavilion Arts Centre in the coming months.
Have you seen Buxton Opera House’s new website? The new redesign, which went live at the beginning of the month is said to make finding out about events, easier than ever before.
Emma Oaks, Head of Marketing & Audiences at Buxton Opera House, who worked on the project with Birmingham based web developer, Supercool, said:
The first Buxton Comedy Festival is on its way to the town this summer, as part of a 4-day event (31 Aug to 3 Sep), sponsored by Thornbridge Brewery. The barrels of beer and laughter ‘combo’ is the brainchild of Buxton Opera House, where many of the events will take place – alongside its sister venue, the Pavilion Arts Centre.
