Buxton Film

Buxton Film is a non-profit volunteer-run community cinema established in 2007 by a small group of people who wanted to see and share good films in Buxton where there was no cinema.

Until January 2017 we screened from bluray in the undercroft of the iconic Old Hall Hotel. The venue had cinema-style seating for about 40. It was our home for a number of years until its closure due to the redevelopment of The Crescent.

Thanks to a rental agreement with Buxton Opera House, we now screen our films in the Pavilion Arts Centre using the full cinema DCP projection equipment.

We try to screen good films that don’t necessarily make the multiplex cinemas and we’re always looking out for the best in world cinema from film festivals around the world.

Our tickets are £5 or £1 for children and students.

We also run a short-film event during the Buxton Festival Fringe in July aimed at local filmmakers. This event has been growing in popularity with excellent quality film entries and a large audience that votes to award prizes.

In January 2016 Buxton Film was registered as a charity (No. 1165040)
