Bedford
MK40 2QT

18:00 – 19:30

BCA is developing a new festival that uses art and culture to celebrate Bedford as the most multi-cultural and yet quintessentially English riverside market town…. Somewhere in England.

We’re inviting local creatives and independent businesses to come and play with us!

This meeting will take the shape of a fun hands‑on workshop (similar to the creative/cultural stakeholder session we held in January) where we’ll brainstorm programming ideas and explore opportunities for partnership and collaboration. We’d love to know where you can — and would like to — get involved.

Come along to find out more and share ideas.
