Buckinghamshire History Fair
Saturday 17th is our History Fair, a day of talks and exhibitions about the history of Buckinghamshire. This is the event for you if you are curious about local history. The Fair takes over both Local Studies and the Archives Searchroom, so we will be closed for research on the day.
Charges
The Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies makes a charge for some services provided. Please contact us if you require further details about any of our charges. All cheques should be drawn in sterling and made payable to Buckinghamshire County Council.
