Organiser Rachel Slaney said: “We have found in the past that people have sometimes turned up in the afternoon just as we were closing so we are hoping that by opening from 11am to 4pm we will be giving people the extra time they need.”

The bumper show forms part of the popular Buxton Art Trail, back this year with art in homes and studios across the town.
