With summer finally upon us, what could be more perfect than enjoying some of the many outdoor activities going on over the summer in Bedford.  Aiming to reach a wide audience in the town and further afield, Love Bedford have spent time organising and sponsoring a host of different events and activities to suit adults and children alike.

Starting with the Love Bedford ‘INDEPENDENT of the year’ competition, some of our unique independent stores will be having special offers in conjunction with promoting their business through the competition.  Follow our Love Bedford Facebook page to find out how to nominate your favourite independent business www.facebook.com/lovebedford to mark "Independents Day" on 4th July!

Once again Bedford is hosting the River Festival on 19th/20th July.  Spanning across the river and 105 acres, families in their droves will come along and soak up the live entertainment, river events, parade, funfair and fete, sports and fireworks.  The list is positively endless and the weekend is not to be missed!  Pick up your FREE goodie bag from either the Love Bedford stand or see one of our Bluecaps on duty, plus download the FREE Bedford town guide app for offers on food and refreshments in town.

Coming up as well is a whole season of outdoor entertainment including outdoor theatre, cinema and a wide range of performers and artists, and don't forget this Saturday's High Street Showcase! Keep your eye on our What's On page for details of where and when to catch it all!
