Welcome to Buxworth

 

Buxworth Centre is available throughout the year for letting as self catering accommodation to schools, youth organisations, and other corporate bodies. Any group renting the Centre has full and exclusive use of the Centre for the duration of their stay.

Burnage Media Arts College owns the Station House at Buxworth in the Peak District of Derbyshire. The centre is about 16 miles from the College – close enough to be easily reached, but far enough away to be ‘different!’

Buxworth Base was set up by converting the old railway station in the village of Buxworth into a self contained Residential/ Activity Centre. It is located in the village of Buxworth in Derbyshire Peak District, on the edge of the National Park, and lies about 18 miles south east of Manchester, 25 miles west of Sheffield, 30 miles from the M1, 33 miles from the M6 and 14 miles from the M60. Edale, Castleton, Hayfield, Kinder Scout and Buxton are close by. Buxworth is a good base for all types of activity in both the Dark and White Peak areas of the National Park. The grid reference of the Centre is: SK 024823.

Buxworth Base has just (July 2011) reopened after refurbishment. From September 2011, it will again be available for letting as self catering accommodation to schools, youth organisations, and other corporate bodies. Any group renting the Centre has full and exclusive use of the Centre for the duration of their stay.

Over the years, hundreds of Burnage students have used and enjoyed the Buxworth Centre and in future, many more will do so. If you have any memories of staying there – please email us at the address below.

[PLEASE NOTE: No tuition, supervision, outdoor pursuits equipment or catering are offered by the Management Committee. All rentals are on an "accommodation only basis."]

The Station House is owned in trust by the former Burnage High School Parents' Society (which is a Registered Charity-no. 506770), and the Burnage Media Arts College Parents Teachers Association.
