The premises being considered are located close to Buxton Market Place - an area presently under regeneration.

This large building on the intersection of Market Street and South Avenue is owned by Robinson Carpets. It has three main floors plus a basement, and is partly occupied by Buxton-4-Youth.

By locating the proposed communal workspace in the centre of Buxton it will promote the sustainable growth and regeneration of the town, at the heart of the surrounding Peak District.

The Magic Carpet feasibility study, to look at establishing a creative base in Buxton, has been commissioned by Bridgehead Arts Ltd - a newly-established company of artists who aspire to increase participation in and enjoyment of the arts in their community through networking and support.

This study is being undertaken by High Peak CVS - an infrastructure organisation supporting and facilitating the development of voluntary and community groups through provision of practical services and resources.
