About The City Brief High Wycombe
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in High Wycombe
High Wycombe is a market town with a long history and strong roots in Buckinghamshire. From its beginnings in the 10th century to its time as a furniture manufacturing centre, the town has always been a place for people to gather, trade, and connect. That spirit continues today through weekly markets, festivals, civic ceremonies, and the everyday events that shape local life. The City Brief is here to keep you up-to-date on what’s happening in High Wycombe each week. Whether you're in the town centre, exploring the commercial areas of Bull Lane, enjoying the green space at The Rye, or living in West Wycombe, there’s always something to know. We cover the regular events that mark the calendar, the weekly market at Little Market House, the farmers market, seasonal walks in the Chilterns National Landscape, as well as the festivals, theatre, and civic occasions that bring people together. We aim to ensure you don't miss what matters locally. High Wycombe's character shines through its events: the Mayor Making Ceremony, a tradition from 1678, highlights the town’s history; the High Wycombe Festival celebrates local talent; the Christmas Pantomime brings families together. These events aren't just dates on a calendar, they connect people and create a sense of community in a town with a real past. We believe staying informed about local events helps you feel more connected to where you live. Whether you’re planning a farmers market visit, interested in theatre, keen to explore the surrounding hills, or simply want to know what's on in your neighbourhood, The City Brief brings that information together. We focus on what’s happening each week, helping you discover opportunities to be part of High Wycombe’s story.
