Heritage Open Days
The Old Hall Hotel and Discover Buxton are delighted to be able to once again support the Heritage Open Days for 2016, from the 8th until the 11th September.
Mary Queen of Scots visited Buxton over a period of 11 years to take the waters and was probably happiest here. The story we tell takes you, especially in honour of Heritage Open Days, into her bower and recreates the sights and sounds of 1573. The event is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years.
OPENING TIMES
- Thursday 8th September: 1100-1200
- Friday 9th September: 1100-1200 & 1200-1300
- Sunday 11th September: 1200-1300 & 1300-1400
