The festivities will take place on Saturday, November 16 from 12noon, with the main event occurring at 6.30pm.
The guest of honour will be a player from Wycombe Wanderers, but it hasn’t been confirmed which name will officially turn on the lights.
The traditional Christmas family event will be packed with entertainment, featuring children’s rides, gift & craft stalls and even the chance to meet Santa himself.
Organised by High Wycombe BidCo, their food truck village will be dishing out the best in global cuisine with Indian, Caribbean and German fare, plus pop-ups from Wagamama, Grounded Kitchen & all the best in festive sweet treats.
