A showcase of businesses from the town centre attracted 1,000s on Saturday June 2nd.
Shops and restaurants on the High Street opened their doors, others put up stalls on the closed road, and all had a happy day out.
A stage at Silver Street saw local talent turning out to perform, charity fun was organised by Rotarians, students offered free hair braiding and nail painting, and there was even a climbing wall.
The event was organised by Bedford Borough Council and supported by the BedfordBID which represents 500+ levy-paying businesses.
Said BID Director Christina Rowe: “It was a great opportunity to show people what Bedford has to offer all year round. We look forward to welcoming people back next week and the week after.”
