We also host a number events where we raise a Flag throughout the year for different occasions, details of which can be found on our website and within our newsletter. Details of individual events are available on the Events section of our website at Events Information – Buckingham Town Council which is updated regularly throughout the year.
Councillor Robin Stuchbury, chair of the Town Centre and Events Committee said “The Events Committee are very enthusiastic about booking local traders to attend our events throughout the year, and Councillors and Officers work closely together to deliver on our ambitions at the various indoor and outdoor fairs and entertainments we organise. It’s a wonderful opportunity to trade at our events and a great way to build your client base whilst enjoying a fun and safe atmosphere created and managed by Town Council officers. We look forward to hearing from local traders, businesses, and organisations about taking part in our events which are key to supporting our local economy and underpinned by the work of our Town Centre Manager, our events team, and committee members’ aspirations in all our decisions.”
