You can support town centre businesses by buying Love Bedford gift vouchers which have helped put more than £1 Million back into local tills.
The scheme is run by the BedfordBID, which supports local businesses large and small, all year round. The vouchers can be redeemed in more than 200 outlets, shops, restaurants and service providers.
The benefit of the Love Bedford scheme, is that unlike national vouchers, these can be redeemed in independent businesses, as well as chain stores.
For a full list of where they can be used and how to buy them online go to our voucher hub.
If you want to buy them direct from a local business, then you can purchase them from Gallones in the Edwardian Arcade or Michael R. Peters on The Broadway. Both are firm favourites with shoppers in Bedford.
