Love Kempston Light Walk

Kempston Riverside Path
Approx MK42 7FB to MK42 8RX
Free Booking

We invite you to experience an illuminated light walk along the riverbank to see Kempston as you have never seen it before. Artist-designed installations will be hidden along the riverbank between Kempston Mill and Sanders Close as dusk descends on the town. Everyone is invited to be part of the experience and connect with the river at this community event. Why not join us at the landing stage or make a lantern at the start of the evening to carry along the walk?
Discover Kempston’s night-time wildlife, natural beauty and the work of local artists along this family-friendly walk. Grab a snack or a hot drink from one of our vendors and enjoy live acoustic music.
This event is free and is being delivered as part of our River/ Flow/ Connect programme of activity. Bedford Creative Arts has been working with schools, families and communities in Kempston to provide the opportunity to re-engage with the river on their doorstep and consider how art and activity can help to embrace the positive benefits of living by the river.
Don’t forget we have a series of bookable and drop-in workshops throughout February with artist Janet Reddy to create art which will be used in the installation along the river.
The walk lasts approximately 40 minutes in length and is along the Kempston Riverside Path.
