Buxton Advertiser

The Buxton Advertiser is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold in and around the spa and market town of Buxton in north-western Derbyshire, including the nearby towns of Chapel-en-le-Frith and Whaley Bridge and the Borough of High Peak more generally.

It was founded in the 19th century as a rival to the 1842 foundation the Buxton Herald and Gazette of Fashion, later known as The Herald. A third title, the High Peak News, was founded in the town some time later. Both the other titles closed in the mid-twentieth century – the Herald in 1950, the News about ten years later – and were absorbed into the Advertiser, in whose masthead they still appear.

It’s published by Wilfred Edmunds (Derbyshire Times) Ltd, a branch of the Northern division of regional and local newspaper publishers Johnston Press. The editorial offices are in Buxton and are shared with its sister freesheet, the Buxton Times.

It comes out on Thursdays.
