2024 Show Postponed!

High Wycombe Gang Show have made the very difficult decision to postpone their 2024 show until 2025.

For the past 36 years HWGS has been performed at the Lancaster Arts Centre on the grounds of Wycombe Abbey School. We were informed at the time of our booking that there would be building works and upgrades happening to the LAC and other buildings used by the us and had made provision to continue with our show week with some alternative provisions. We have subsequently informed that there has been a delay to the building timeline which has a significant impact on us. We have not taken this decision lightly, and ultimately the health and safety of our cast, crew and audience is far more important than any performance.

We are aware that there will be a number of disappointed people, especially the young people who had already signed up to be part of the cast and the volunteers who have spent so many hours planning the 2024 show. We would like to reassure all cast, crew, supporters and future audience members that we will be riding the crest of a wave again in 2025.

So, what is a Gang Show?

It is said that somewhere, everyday of every year, a Gang Show is being performed. Sometimes this is in a Scout centre, a village hall or a local theatre, here in High Wycombe we use the superb facilities of the Lancaster Arts Centre at Wycombe Abbey Girls School.

Gang Shows have a rich history, from their London show beginnings in 1932 under the direction of Ralph Reader to the shows of today which combine new and original material, popular music and dance with old Gang Show traditions.

Our show here in High Wycombe is officially recognised by the Scout Association to be of such a high standard that it meets all of the criteria for both on-stage performance and back stage management.

Our Gang consists of 100+ local members of the Scout and Guide Associations who produce, manage and perform the entire show. If you have never been to one of our shows before let us amaze you with the enthusiasm and talent of our local cast.
