Hats Off Chesham! on Saturday 12 July 2025 celebrates our High Street with fun for all the family, returning for its fourth year.

This popular festival has free entertainment along the High Street – music, stalls and more – just don’t forget your hat!

It will extend all the way along the High Street from Market Square to The Broadway, and into some of the adjacent yards.

It is hat-themed to celebrate Chesham’s historical links to the hat-making industry and its famous ex-resident Roger Crabbe!
It is hoped everyone will get into the spirit by wearing a hat, the more unusual or comical the better. But the main thing is to take part! It’s a lovely friendly atmosphere every year.

Hats Off Chesham! aims to provide a day of free entertainment whilst showing off what Chesham High Street has to offer, both to locals and visitors from further afield.
