Celebrate Christmas in Bedford

BedfordBID and Love Bedford’s Christmas offering grows every year, and in 2023 we have teamed up with a range of amazing partners to create a truly magical Christmas in Bedford. Kicking off on November 25th with the Christmas Lights Switch-on, December’s calendar of events means there are no excuses not to get into the spirit of the Festive season. Find full details here of why Christmas in Bedford will be ‘a most wonderful time of the year’!
