Buckingham Town Council will be entering the Best Kept Village competition once again and is calling on local residents, groups, and businesses to support its entry.
This annual competition, which is open to all towns and villages in Buckinghamshire, encourages communities to collaborate and work together to make their surroundings more attractive for both residents and visitors.
The Best Kept Village competition, founded in 1957, allows villages and towns in Buckinghamshire to participate based on their population category. Buckingham will be competing in the Michaelmas Cup, which is specifically for towns with populations over 3,000.
In 2024, Buckingham finished in 2nd place—just two points behind Marlow!
The deadline for submitting the application is the end of April 2025, with judging taking place between June 1st and mid-July 2025.

Cllr. Robin Stuchbury, Chair of the Town Centre & Events committee said: “The Buckingham Town Centre Events Committee has been working closely with officers and the Green Spaces Team to help the town succeed in this year's competition. We are very grateful for anyone who can support this year’s entry, as it is through collaboration that we can make small but meaningful improvements to our town centre and parks, which are managed by the BTC Environment Committee.
We aim to achieve success once again in the 2025 competition, which has been running since 1957 across Buckinghamshire. As Buckingham is the town that gives the county its name, it would be truly fitting for us to do our best in this year's competition.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we appreciate any support you can offer to help our dedicated officers and Green Spaces Team continue their efforts to succeed in this competition.”
