Yesterday I visited Buxton and spoke to Terry Crawford of the Buxton Pavilion. The place seems to be buzzing with activity. The Gardens were full of visitors and the Cafe was busy. The shop appeared to be doing a roaring trade and the Concert Hall was hosting an Antiques Fair. Terry spoke about how success was based on keeping busy and what I saw seemed to prove that. Having looked at our plans for the Pavilion, he suggested that when the stage was not being used, it could become a small cinema by facing the chairs sideways. What would be required would be sound insulation between the stage and the rest of the hall. We also spoke about the banqueting capability of the ballroom and talked around the difficulties of organising hot food without having a substantial kitchen facility. Corporate use during the week is certainly a possibility and the lecture theatre combines with the array of rooms for break-out meetings would work out well.
