    When Buxton Opera House pulls together its local performing talent to put on 'community production' at our town's grandest venue it's always a match made in heaven.

This 2024 production promises to be ‘bigger and better than ever’ and so it was with festive jumpers on, mince pies in hand we eagerly settled in for our talented cast’s version of this tale which has delighted generations.
