High Wycombe in June is absolutely packed this year — and we mean that in the best possible way.
Whether you're after outdoor fun, live music, countryside walks, arts and culture, or just an excellent excuse to eat your bodyweight in street food, there is genuinely something on almost every weekend (and quite a few weekdays too).
Here's everything worth knowing about, in date order.
