The Buckingham Remembrance Day Parade is organised by the Royal British Legion and will be held on Sunday 9th November. 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 9am until 12:30pm, allowing the parade to form and disband. A rolling road closure will be in place from 10:15am for Market Square and Castle Street. The length of West Street from the junction with Western Avenue 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 rolling road closure will be lifted until the parade 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.

The Winter Fair will take place on Sunday 16th November from 2pm to 4pm at Lace Hill Sports & Community Centre. There will be lots of local handmade Christmas goodies, refreshments and art and craft activities for the children to enjoy. 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. Please note, there is a small £1 entry fee per adult with free entry for children.

Open House has grown out of a need to provide something for former carers and people who live on their own. Former carers often find it difficult to move on from their caring role and there are many older people living alone who may find themselves lonely. It can be difficult to go out to join new activities and make new friends if you are lacking confidence. Their group is supportive and aims to help people make these first steps.

They are holding a Charity Quiz Night on Friday 21st November at 7.30pm (doors open at 7pm).

Tickets are £10pp which includes a Ploughman’s Supper.

Tickets are available to purchase from the Buckingham Tourist Information Centre (Mon-Sat 10am-4pm) or by calling 07793 825146.
