More about Shortway

Buckinghamshire, England

Shortway in Buckinghamshire is a quiet corner of the UK where you can find plenty to do without needing to drive far. We keep track of the local theatre productions and community markets that pop up around here. It's a proper place for a Sunday stroll or catching a show before dinner. Sometimes a pop-up art exhibition turns up near the shops, and there's usually a comedy night waiting if you fancy a laugh. Near Here keeps an eye on all the cultural stuff so you don't have to hunt through a dozen websites. We're just happy to tell you where the fun is happening in your own patch.
