It's a Victorian architectural engineering marvel, which must be seen to be appreciated. Normally it's part of Derbyshire University campus, but periodically, it's open to the public for exhibitions.

Great place, great atmosphere, love the detail of the building and the food to top it all off was amazing. I attended a wedding here and by far the best venue I have been to. The staff and even the security guards were lovely people. I had a chat with some of the security guards and they even came and took some pics of the car I was travelling in.

The Dome has a great history as does a lot of Buxton. The building is impressive and is now part of the university and is a wonderful place to get something to eat.
