Buxton Crescent and Thermal Spa

The Crescent was the centrepiece of the Fifth Duke of Devonshire’s plans to establish a fashionable Georgian spa town in Buxton.  The grade 1 listed building is one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the country.

The redevelopment and restoration will secure a major investment of circa £50 million in Buxton and put the town back on the national and  international map as England’s leading spa town. The project will  create in excess of 140 permanent jobs, 350 construction related jobs and many more permanent jobs indirectly through new spa-related businesses resulting in a boost the local economy by over £4.5 million.

The Crescent and Thermal Spa Experience and development of the Pump Room will also provide new indoor attraction for residents, visitors, groups and schools.
