Buckingham Men in Sheds
The Cote, next to The Woolpack
A ‘Shed’ is a place where men can come along and take part in craft based activities similar to those they would do at home or in their own garden shed but with the bonus of other like-minded men providing good company. It’s a social group where men can be productive, socialise and be part of their local community. Activities include woodwork, metal work, electronics, weaving, computing and digital photography.
The Old Gaolers Drama Group
The Old Gaolers Drama Group has produced over 100 plays for audiences in Buckingham and beyond over the past four decades. These have ranged from comedies and thrillers to challenging dramas, costume classics and full-scale musicals. We have also supported the Buckingham Community Pantomime and participated in many other town events.
The Film Place
Buckingham Film Place
Buckingham's own local cinema. The Film Place transforms the lecture theatre at the University of Buckingham into a cinema which provides 160 seats.
Slade Recreation Club
Slade Recreation Club, Buckingham Industrial Estate
An indoor snooker and bowls club run by volunteers. The Snooker Club has four full size snooker tables, the Indoor Bowls club has four bowling rinks. Both clubs welcome any new members. Opening times vary throughout the year - see website for details.
