What's on in Aylesbury This Week

You can find events in Aylesbury this week at the Watermead Circus Site, where Circus Fantasia returns with live performances including acrobatics and aerial acts. These performances happen on 5, 6, and 7 June 2026. On 6 June, a theatrical show inspired by Charles Dickens will also take place at St Mary’s Church, a venue separate from the circus site. Both events are in the Nightlife & Music and Culture & Arts categories. You’ll find a mix of family-friendly and adult-oriented entertainment. Aylesbury Park and the Grand Union Canal offer open space for a walk or a relaxed evening out. The town has a long history as a commuter hub, linked by the Great Western Railway, and still reflects that heritage through events. The Metropolitan Railway and Great Central Railway lines remain part of the area’s identity. Tring Road and Walton Street are busy during events, so be aware of traffic. Parking can be tight, especially during peak times. Public car parks fill quickly, and fines are issued for parking offences. Bike lockers are available for cyclists. Toucan crossings help manage pedestrian routes. Aylesbury's origins stretch back to the Iron Age, with a hillfort from 650 BC. The town became the administrative centre of Buckinghamshire in the 18th century after a fire destroyed much of nearby Buckingham. Its identity grew through 19th-century railway development and 20th-century expansion as an overspill town for London.
