High Wycombe creative hub to open
It's part of a three-year programme aimed at boosting local culture and creativity
A new Creative Hub in High Wycombe will officially open today (Saturday 27 September), marking the first milestone in a three-year programme to support local culture and creativity.
The project has been funded by Arts Council England, the Rothschild Foundation and Buckinghamshire Council.
The opening event, organised by We Make Wycombe, will take place at 1–2 Cornmarket from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Activities will include live music, collaborative art projects, interactive AI demonstrations, and the chance to meet the team behind the initiative. Refreshments will be provided, and the event is open to all.
The Creative Hub is the first outcome of funding secured by Buckinghamshire Council in partnership with Bucks Culture and the town’s creative community.
It forms part of the Place Partnerships High Wycombe programme, which aims to strengthen the town’s cultural life by supporting local artists, venues and organisations.
Peter Brazier, Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure at Buckinghamshire Council, said:
“This is a fantastic example of how quickly the recent funding is being put to work. In just a few months, we’ve gone from announcement to opening a space that will bring people together, support creative talent, and enrich everyday life in High Wycombe.
If you live in or near the town, don’t miss this family-friendly event – it’s a brilliant opportunity to discover what’s happening, get involved, and celebrate local creativity.”
The hub will serve as a space for collaboration, learning and showcasing local creativity. It is expected to host regular events, workshops and networking sessions, and will be developed in response to the needs of the community.
Lallie Davis, Director of Bucks Culture, said:
“This is more than just a launch – it’s the beginning of a new chapter for High Wycombe’s creative community. The hub will be a place where ideas are shared, skills are developed, and culture becomes an even more visible and valued part of daily life.”
The event is free to attend.
