Olney is a beautiful market town set on the edge of three counties: Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire. Whether you are interested in history, architecture, shopping, eating out, walking, art, or antiques, you will find something in Olney to keep you interested.

The attractive wide high street and market place is home to a fascinating collection of architecturally varied buildings dating back many centuries, while the tall spire of Saint Peter and Saint Paul looks over the town. The church dates from the 14th century, and the bridge from the 19th century.

The wide variety of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants are evidence of the thriving community here, once noted for its lace making industry.

Every year, the Floral Fiesta sees the town adorned with flowers - a week of activities including the duck race, the raft race, and Fiesta Day itself.

On one Sunday in December, we have Dickens of a Christmas, with a street market, food, entertainers, mulled wine and lots of atmosphere.

Shrove Tuesday every year sees the world famous Olney Pancake Race, where lady residents of the town race with frying pan and pancake to be the first to reach the Church.

The museum and country park jostle for your attention, whilst further afield, the water meadows and surrounding countryside offer a number of attractions for the visitor to this pretty and unique Buckinghamshire town.

The Olney Chamber of Trade was formed in 1993 by a small group of local business people who agreed on the benefits of a forum to represent business interest and encourage trade in the town and surrounding villages. Now we have grown into a thriving collective voice, working on a number of ventures to bring prosperity to the town.
