The Pavilion Gardens is a Grade II listed historic venue which superbly shows off the Victorian splendour of Buxton. Situated in the heart of the spa town it is a beautiful example of the heritage that runs throughout the town.
A venue that is truly a place for all the family to visit. We offer 23 acres of gardens to explore with a boating lake, miniature train, play areas, fountains and wildlife to see.
The main building offers a botanical garden with a fishpond, flower shop, retail area, art gallery, cinema and the amazing Octagon Hall that houses all our large events. (Link below)
