Winter Fair

The Winter Fair is back! This event is open to all, so bring the family and join us for a jolly afternoon at Lace Hill Sports & Community Centre on Sunday 20th November 2022 from 2pm – 4pm. The aim of the Winter Fair event is to bring the community together in a festive celebration and support local crafters, groups and businesses. It will also be a great opportunity to start some Christmas shopping if you haven’t already.

Remembrance Day Parade

The Remembrance Day Parade is organized by the Royal British Legion and will be taking place on Sunday 13th November 2022.
The parade will form up on Market Hill before the procession moves off, walking through the town centre towards Castle Street. The parade ends at St Peter and St Paul’s Church where the War Memorial is sited. A rolling road closure, organised by Buckingham Town Council, will be in place when the parade is on the move.
Market Hill will be closed from 9 am until 12:30 pm, allowing the parade to form and disband. A rolling road closure will be in place from 10:15 am for Market Square and Castle Street. The length of West Street from the junction with Western Ave to Market Square and the High Street from the junction with High Street/Moreton Road.
 
Once the parade has reached St Peter & St Paul’s Church, the road closure will be lifted until it is ready to march back to Market Hill. Diversions will still be in place during this time.
 
We ask that motorists are patient, and if possible, avoid the town centre during the above times.
