| Create your own Fringe Hot Spot! |
Earlier this week the clocks went forward and since then we have had sun, rain, wind and hail! So, its official, British Summer Time has arrived.
This can only mean one thing, the countdown to the Buxton Festival Fringe 2026 has started in earnest and it won't be long till our annual Springboard Party. So I'm sitting in my kitchen filling small envelopes with orange flower seeds ready to give away at the party to all our green-fingered supporters.
We will also be out and about at the Spring Fair promoting the Fringe - if you see us do say hello. It's hard to miss us as we will be wearing our Tango orange tee-shirts and sporting our new rather smart caps and bucket hats, which, for the stylish amongst you, will be available to purchase at our Springboard event and during the Fringe itself.
Plans are underway to fill the Opera House Planter with over 130 orange flowers again this year. Members of the team are filling our greenhouses and windowsills with seed trays and planning trips to the local plant nurseries.
We would really love it if members of the public, community groups and local businesses would help us paint the town orange by planting your own orange floral displays. Marigolds, calendulas and nasturtiums are all easy to grow. If you do plant some flowers, post a photo on the socials and don't forget to tag us in on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @buxtonfringe.
Our Springboard event is on Saturday 11th April, at The Pump Room, from 7 pm to 9 pm (free entry) offering a chance to see some mini tasters from a few of this year's nearly 200 entrants.
If you would like to know more about our Orange Hot Spots or want to get involved in the Fringe, email Carole, our vice chair, on vicechair@buxtonfringe.org.uk.
