What's on in Bedford this week?

This week in Bedford, events highlight local tradition and current cultural activity across town centre spaces and nearby green areas. The weekly market at St Paul's Square continues its role as a civic event, with new vendors offering regional produce, craft goods, and seasonal treats from 9am to 3pm on Saturday mornings. Families can take part in guided farm tours at Mowsbury Park’s educational zone or follow themed walking trails that link the riverfront path along the Great Ouse to nearby community gardens. These activities are scheduled across multiple days, with children’s workshops held in partnership with Bedford Borough Council and local schools.
nFor evening events, live music is featured on alternate evenings at established venues such as The Old Cinema Bar, known for intimate acoustic sets, and occasional DJ sessions hosted by student-run collectives near the University of Bedford campus. Theatre performances are also planned this week across public halls used regularly during term time and weekend events.
nAll listings include start times, venue addresses along major transport routes like the A1 or Thameslink rail access to Bedford station, and accessibility notes where applicable. Most community gatherings do not require advance booking.
