Bedford River Festival 2018

The Higgins Bedford at The River Festival

Saturday 14th July

and

Sunday 15th June (Extended hours 11am - 5pm)

This year the River Festival marks its 40th anniversary on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July, and is recognised as one of the largest outdoor events of its kind in the UK with the last Festival in 2016 seeing over a quarter of a million people enjoying this free Festival on Bedford’s Embankment. This year 2018’s Bedford River Festival will be bigger than ever before, with the Festival expanding further down the River to include St Mary's Gardens.

The Higgins Bedford will be part of a marquee in St. Mary's Gardens where there will be a host of activities to enjoy, including an Adventure Village with a low rope course, a canoe trail, giant games, circus skills and bushcrafts activities.

If the hustle and bustle of the River Festival becomes too much, The Higgins Bedford will have some chill out space and wellbeing activities to enjoy. It’s a great place to retreat from the crowds, noise and weather. Extended opening hours on Sunday (11am – 5pm) will make it even easier to visit.
