• Now and Then Theatre will pop up with a workshop for both children and adults will work together to create a piece to perform on St Peter & St Paul’s Church Green.

Cllr. Robin Stuchbury, Chair of the Town Centre & Events Committee, said “Buckingham Town Councils, Town Centre, and Events Committee in partnership with community organisations will be putting on the Buckingham Fringe festival from the 22nd to the 30th of July with events to suit everybody. Free events include family fun days, art and theatre. We are pleased to see the return of our friends the Oxford Fiddle Group and a comedy night. Tickets can be purchased for both events on the Town Council website or through the Tourist Information Centre.

We look forward to seeing you throughout the week and being part of this community event which is only possible through the hard work of our office team and dedicated committee members and partnerships with valued friends within the town helping us deliver a program of events in which there is something for everybody to take part in”.
