About this deal

We couldn’t be more excited to hear this great news for High Wycombe and are delighted to have won the opportunity to be part of the MONOPOLY family. Each year the MONOPOLY dice roll on a new place – over the last two years it has been Palm Springs in leafy Riverside County, California and The Hamptons in New York state – and High Wycombe has beaten a shortlist of 24 other places from across the world.

Melanie Williams, Chief Executive of High Wycombe BID said: “We couldn’t be more excited to hear this great news for High Wycombe and are delighted to have won the opportunity to be part of the MONOPOLY family. When it comes to getting the whole family involved in an entertaining activity, you can't beat board games. Get your hands on all-time classics such as Jenga, Monopoly and Cluedo and get the ball rolling on some fun family time. We even have junior versions of these games and an array of brain games to get your kids thinking and help sharpen their minds. Family board games Wycombe foodbank One Can Trust is being honoured on the game and if you land on this square, you're two doors away from the Free Parking square. We are delighted to have High Wycombe celebrated in this way! This town offers such a rich variety of culture and community spirit, from a preserved medieval High Street with its famous market to the wonderful Swan Theatre, as well as a fantastic array of shops and restaurants. It's always an excellent service with brilliant products at a very competitive price - will use again!James Simons, Head of Retail UK & Ireland at Bang & Olufsen adds, “Online has changed the retail landscape no question, but we believe an omnichannel approach is key to delivering the best customer experience. Customers will want to see our distinctive designs, immerse themselves with superior sound performance and feel the rich materials that set our products apart, with expert guidance on hand to help them with their requirements.” It was announced that High Wycombe would be getting its own Monopoly edition on February 14. To mark the occasion, roses and chocolates were handed out to shoppers in High Wycombe town centre, as well as Monopoly money.

Each year the MONOPOLY dice roll on a new place – over the last two years it has been Palm Springs in leafy Riverside County, California and The Hamptons in New York state – and High Wycombe has beaten a shortlist of 24 other places from across the world (some of these perhaps perceived as far more glamorous, including Carmel-by-the-Sea in Monterey, California). As the public consult on the make-up of the game we encourage them to visit mywycombe.com to learn more about High Wycombe’s fabulous heritage and source places that could be included the game.” High Wycombe station continued to be developed over the years. Most dramatically this was at the turn of the 20th century with the opening of the Great Western & Great Central Joint main line to Marylebone and Paddington via Beaconsfield & Gerrards Cross. At this time the station itself was totally rebuilt, although the original terminus station/trainshed and engine shed was extended to become a very large goods shed. This building still stands today and as Brunel was engineer to the original Wycombe Railway (Maidenhead to Wycombe), this is known as the Brunel Building. It is Grade II listed.We like to support local events which is why we are taking part in the switching-on of the Christmas lights, as well as Monopoly launch and several local pantomimes. We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. Several High Wycombe landmarks, locations and organisations scooped up top spots on Wycombe’s own MONOPOLY. Parker Bros began licensing the game for sale outside the United States in 1936 and it started to become a phenomenal success story. Her winning piece, which received huge applauds from the audience, read: “High Wycombe is my home town, let’s jump up and down. Monopoly is on its way, so let’s roll the dice – and play!”
