To do
The hilly terain of High Wycombe was used to good advantage by the Wycombe summit, the longest dry ski slope in the UK which burnt down in November 2005. It is now being rebuilt as a real snow ski slope (snoDome) instead which, when completed, will be the largest of three in the country (and one of two in Buckinghamshire with another in Milton Keynes).

The town centre offers a 12 screen cinema (Cineworld) and a 22 lane bowling alley (AMF Bowling)
