Events in High Wycombe From 11th May – 17th May 2026

This week in High Wycombe features a range of events, from family sessions and opportunities to get active, to evenings with live music and social gatherings. You can explore new skills through networking events or attend talks on health inequalities and wellbeing. For a relaxed night out, there are options to enjoy music at local pubs or join friends for an informal drink.

If you're looking to keep the family entertained, the town’s high family-friendly index means there are plenty of green spaces and playgrounds ideal for daytime visits. For evenings, there are several live music events across the town, including stand-up comedy, acoustic sets, and dance parties.

The town, historically known for its furniture industry, particularly the production of Windsor chairs, now blends heritage with modern cultural offerings. Most residents commute by car via the M40 motorway or A404 trunk road, though congestion can occur at junction 4. The Park and Ride at Cressex offers a useful alternative for those avoiding town centre parking.

The bus station near Eden Shopping Centre, served by Carousel Buses and Redline, provides access to central venues, though some areas like Newland and St Mary's Street show signs of urban decay. The town continues to develop, with events hosted across multiple locations, including The Mad Squirrel Tap & Bottleshop, Bird in Hand, and B'Hive. For those planning to attend, note that these venues are not in the city centre and require a short drive to reach.
