Buxton Opera House CEO, Paul Kerryson, said: 

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Taylor Emmet Solicitors as a lead partner for 2026. This fantastic new venture directly supports our own ‘Created in Buxton’ productions, and community engagement programme, helping to fuel a  spectacular year of local theatre. Their support helps bring to life our biggest home-grown productions, including our community-written play, The Buxton Faun, the community musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor  Dreamcoat, and our festive family show and 2026 pantomime. 

“As a registered charity, sponsorships like this are vital to securing the future of our beautiful theatres and ensuring  our stage remains a vibrant platform for local talent”. 

Martin Sissons, Partner at Taylor Emmet’s Peak District Office, said: 

“We’re incredibly proud to become an official partner of Buxton Opera House. Their venues are not only cultural  landmarks but vital community assets that bring creativity, opportunity and economic value to the High Peak.

Supporting an organisation that champions young talent, connects communities through the arts, and safeguards  such an important part of our local heritage aligns perfectly with our values at Taylor Emmet. 

“The opening of our new Peak District office marks an important step in deepening our presence within the  community, and this partnership reflects our long-term commitment to the region. We’re excited to play our part in  supporting both local people and local culture, and we look forward to building strong relationships for many years  to come.”
