The first real summer’s day of the year brought thousands of people on to the streets for The Buxton Spring Fair organised by the BuxtonTownTeam.   Dozens of stalls, both charity and commercial, lined all the major streets of the town on Bank Holiday Monday whilst street musicians and marching bands entertained the crowds.  

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team joined the party with a display of equipment and talks by it’s Search & Rescue Dog Association members.   The team’s mascot, Bernard, also appeared and was an instant hit with the children.  In the bright sunshine the collection buckets were soon rattling as the team collected as part of the National Mountain Rescue Awareness Day.

The team sends a big thank you to the event organisers and a very special huge “Thank You” to all the locals and visitors who contributed nearly £500 to the team funds.
