Community Bucks | March 2022

WHAT’S ON

Opening our venue to the community...

Edition 1 March 2022

Community Bucks is our brand new initiative to open our doors to the public on a more regular basis, offering a broad range of diverse events that we believe the

residents of High Wycombe will be interested in! Despite being a Student Union

facility, most of our events are completely non-student friendly! We want to work with and support local community groups, providing a home for cultural events

and celebrations, aiming to encourage many thousands of visits to our venues,

showcasing our facilities, improving relations with local businesses, and building new networks and partnerships.

This month, we’ve got such a broad range of events that we’re so excited to

bring you! From drag to comedy, and bingo to DJ nights covering a plethora of

music genres, we’re sure that we’ll have at least one event that will interest you!

If you’re a fan of interactive entertainment, then Bingo Lingo and Glitterbomb is right up your street; if you prefer a more relaxed night out, then come and

experience our Comedy Club, with great drinks deals and free pizza! However, if you’re a lover of a classic, messy club night, join us for a jelly shot or two at House & Garage Unlocked, or WXVED!

All events are subject to change, please visit thevenuebucks.co.uk for most up to date information.
