Following the success of last summer’s Big Weekender, Eden is bringing back its popular summer event in an even bigger way with the launch of Big Weekends – six weeks of free themed events taking place every Saturday throughout the summer holidays.

After attracting families from across Buckinghamshire to last year’s one-off event, Eden has expanded the concept into a summer-long programme, offering six themed weekends packed with entertainment, activities, workshops, competitions and interactive experiences for everyone.

Running from 25th July to 30th August, Big Weekends will transform Eden into a vibrant destination for summer fun, with each weekend offering a different theme designed to appeal to visitors of all ages.

Dates for the diary

Taking place between 11am and 4pm, the programme will be themed around:

25th July – Family Fun

 1st August – Wellbeing & Lifestyle

8th August – Entertainment

15th August – Food & Drink

22nd August – Fashion & Beauty

29th & 30th August – Big Weekends Finale – Whizz Fizz in partnership with Buckinghamshire Council and We Make Wycombe

Each themed event will feature a mix of live performances, demonstrations, interactive activities, workshops, competitions and entertainment, creating a fresh experience for visitors every week throughout the holidays.

The series will culminate in a spectacular two-day finale delivered as Buckinghamshire Council’s Whizz Fizz in partnership with Eden and We Make Wycombe, bringing together family entertainment, community activities and live experiences on an even greater scale.

Together

Rebecca Gomme, Marketing Manager at Eden, said:

‘The response to last year’s Big Weekender exceeded all expectations, with thousands of visitors joining us for a fantastic day of free family entertainment. We knew we wanted to build on that success, so this year we’ve transformed the concept into Big Weekends – a summer-long programme that is bigger, better and offers something different every week.’

‘We’re passionate about creating experiences that bring people together and add value to our community. Whether visitors are joining us for family fun, food, fashion, fitness or entertainment, there will be plenty to discover throughout the summer. We’re also delighted to be partnering with Buckinghamshire Council and We Make Wycombe to host High Wycombe’s Whizz Fest for what promises to be an incredible finale weekend.’

Alongside the events programme, visitors can enjoy everything Eden has to offer, including more than 100 shops, restaurants, cafés and family attractions such as Cineworld, Hollywood Bowl, TeamSport, Clip ‘n Climb, Carnival Golf & Games and Pirates Landing.
