One of the key next steps in our pursuit of St John's is developing a business plan that illustrates revenue and costs and effectively balances the interests of community and commerce. To start this process we invite Arts4Every1 members and other Wycombe organisations and individuals to submit ideas, contributions and provisional bookings for the next five years.

Whether it's an art exhibition, drama performance, music concert, workshops, term-time or holiday activities, festival, community or business events we need to start scoping out how we can maximise usage of the centre.
