Launch of Bedford’s Cultural Vision
Wednesday 1st October 2025
The Quarry Theatre, at St Luke’s, Bedford, MK40 2NN
17:00 – 18:30
Join us on Wednesday 1 October 2025, from 17:00 to 18:30, at The Quarry Theatre in Bedford for the launch of a bold new Cultural Vision for Bedford.
This public event marks the unveiling of a shared Cultural Vision developed by the Bedford Cultural Partnership – a growing alliance of local cultural organisations, Bedford Borough Council, and the University of Bedfordshire.
The vision outlines an ambitious roadmap for how arts and culture can drive positive change across Bedford – socially, creatively, and economically – with local communities at its heart.
What to expect from the event:
- An introduction to the Cultural Vision for 2030, and what its core values and priorities are
- An overview of what a Cultural Compact is and how it could benefit Bedford
- Opportunities to share your ideas, thoughts, and aspirations
- Time to connect with fellow creatives, cultural professionals and community members
- Live performances to celebrate Bedford’s diverse creative community
Whether you’re an artist, creative professional, educator or simply passionate about local culture, you’re warmly invited to attend and be part of this important conversation.
The event is free and open to all.
