Also performing will be the Wycombe Youth Action dance troupe and the SV2G Steel Band.

Daniel Tomkinson, director of the Eden centre, said: "We are very excited that the Earl of Wessex has agreed to visit Eden and the new library.

"It's exciting that we have the opportunity to showcase our new centre and to celebrate its success with the help of many local young people. Its going to be a great day."
