Buxton’s Biggest Carol Service

Over 900 people attended Buxton’s Biggest Carol Service at the Octagon last night. The Burbage Band where in fine form and led the carols with gusto. The Rector of Buxton, the Rev’d John Hudghton led the evening with contributions from Bob Marsden – Trinity Church and Tim Davies – Buxton Church in the Peak. An inspiring Christmas talk was given by Mick Allez from Buxton Community Church. A collection was taken on the door at the end of the evening with all monies given to Good News Family Care – Charis House.

This annual event is a fantastic way to start your Christmas festivities. What is more seasonal that carols led by an excellent brass band!
