Bedfringe 2012 is in Full Swing, Bringing a Wide Range of Top Quality Performing Arts to Bedford

On Monday night I was at 'Bedfringe 6ix... Live!', a fantastic evening of music and comedy helping to get this year's 6th annual Bedfringe Festival off to a flying start. The festival got underway on Friday 13th July, and already there is a real buzz about the quality of performances taking place. It runs right through to 28th July, with a tremendous array of theatre, comedy, poetry, music, dance and more on offer, right here in Bedford across a number of venues. The festival has grown over the years since its inaugural year in 2007, and the high quality, wide range of performances on offer are a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved on the Bedfringe Team.

River Festival Weekend is Here!

So, River Festival Weekend has arrived. After numerous bouts of torrential rain this week, it appears that the weather may be ready to concede that it cannot defeat the Bedford River Festival, with the sun set to come out, particularly on Sunday. Both days will feature a huge range of activities for all the family, so do get along and enjoy the best of Bedford this weekend.

Not Long Left to Cast Your Vote in the Best Dressed Window Competition

This month has seen numerous shops in Bedford High Street and neighbouring streets take part in a 'Best Dressed Window' competition. A tremendous number of local businesses have taken part, including 25 independent retailers. It's a reminder of how fortunate we are to have many local retailers who make a real effort to attract people to their stores and in turn make our town centre more attractive and inviting for visitors.

From Rocket Boots Bob to River Raft Fun, a Great Weekend for Bedford

Looking back at last weekend's River Festival, what a fantastic showcase it was for Bedford. It is estimated that over 300,000 people came out to join in the fun over the weekend. The arrival of the summer was excellently timed and no doubt encouraged many people to come out and enjoy the vast array of entertainment on offer.

Getting Behind Team GB... and Bedford Borough's Guests

I've enjoyed following the fortunes of Team GB's athletes in the Olympics coverage I've been able to catch so far, and am obviously looking forward to seeing the medals tally rise. In addition to Team GB, there's another team whose exploits I'll be keeping an eye out for, and that's the Maldives, whose Olympic squad stayed here in Bedford for a number of weeks for their Pre-Games Training Camp.
