Applications for Buxton Day of Dance 2026  are now open. 

Buxton Day of Dance 2026 will be on Sat 18th July. We have a limit of 15 visiting sides and like to create a mix of styles, new visitors, as well as welcoming back old friends. If your Morris side is interested in being part of this fabulous day please complete our application form at the bottom of this page.

We will use our sorting hat to sift through the applications and aim to confirm the final numbers by the end of February 2026.

 

 

Buxton Day of Dance is an annual feature of Buxton Festival Fringe so you are guaranteed a lively and inquisitive audience with the chance to make new dancing friends or renew old acquaintances. The event is entirely centred on Buxton, with relaxed walks between dance spots, and no coaches or travel required.

• There is no charge

• Sat 10.30 – c4.30pm

• Lunch can be taken at any of the local inns, pubs, cafes, restaurants, hot potato stands and fish and chip shops. Or, if the weather is kind, have a picnic in the park.

• Collections from previous Buxton Days of Dance have enabled us to support local charities.
