thanks to BedfordBID

Despite the difficulties of 2020, business organisation, BedfordBID, has ensured that the town is a sparkling seasonal sight this Christmas.

BedfordBID, which represents 100s of shops, restaurants and offices in Bedford, has been adding every year to its range of “Love Bedford” 

Xtra Xmas lights - these include (photos):

Lamppost lights in:

St Peters Street 

St Peters Street garden trees uplighters

Howard Street tree lights

AND the large, real Christmas tree outside Clinton Cards adorned with twinkly lights.  

In addition businesses themselves are making an extra special effort this year such as Michael R. Peters in The Broadway and the Riverside complex of restaurants and bars

While all businesses try to trade within the confines of the latest lockdown, BedfordBID is hoping to make sure people keep up with the spirit of Christmas in the town. Remember, in November you can buy online from many businesses which have had to close their doors.

Latest information of ‘what’s on/open and when’ can be found on www.lovebedford.co.uk/covid which is being updated throughout lockdown with details of how to buy from local shops online. 

It will also showcase what is happening when the town is fully relaunched for Christmas.
