Pavilion Quarter regeneration project, Aylesbury
About the project
We are regenerating the area around the former Gala Bingo building in Aylesbury town centre.
This will become a cultural and entertainment district called The Pavilion Quarter, named after the former cinema on the site.
It will include small business and start-ups.
It will provide a lively and welcoming community and cultural space with potential to host events, as well as creating new routes around the town centre.

Aylesbury town centre regeneration
The Pavilion Quarter will link the Exchange development with the High Street, opening up new opportunities to further rejuvenate the High Street.
There will also be an opportunity for entertainment with the creation of a dedicated space with potential to stage music and cultural events.
It will give an overall ‘lift’ to Aylesbury town centre and is a key part of our work to regenerate our major town centres.
About the works

Location of works
The works are happening in the High Street, Aylesbury, on the site of the former Gala Bingo building. Behind the site is Exchange Street Car Park.
