Cllr Robin Stuchbury Chair of Town Centre & Events Committee said, “the Town Centre and Events Committee work in partnership on all events, with the Food Fair being one of the Committee’s greatest successes. For the past four years, this event has been led by Deputy Town Mayor and Lead Cllr Fran Davies. The Food Fair has grown into a thriving community event, bringing together local organisations, traders, and small businesses and attracting visitors to Buckingham. Why not support these traders, and visit our Food Fair, and take the opportunity to wander up into the town centre to support our local economy. This is the core mission of the Committee, and why we remain committed to organising Town Centre events throughout the year.”
