Bedford’s Cultural Compact
At the last event in December, held at The Place Theatre, Bedford Cultural Partnership introduced the concept of a Cultural Compact for Bedford and Creative Medway was discussed as a potential blueprint. A follow-up has now been organised for Wednesday 11 February 2026.
This networking event will include a presentation from special guest speaker, Jatin Patel, from Creative Medway. Jatin will be sharing some insight into how their Cultural Compact was shaped and how this supports and promotes Medway’s cultural sector. After the presentation there will be time for Q&A and an opportunity to network.
The event is open to everyone passionate about arts and culture and will take place from 6.30-8pm in Council Meeting Room 1 at Bedford Borough Hall (Cauldwell Street, Bedford MK42 9AP). As space is limited, you are advised to book your free ticket to attend.
In the meantime, BCP has produced a helpful FAQ document to answer a few questions about the partnership, what a Cultural Compact is and what this might look like in practice, for Bedford. You can download the FAQs from the BCP micro-site.
