It will showcase the favourite artworks of various community groups, organisations and individuals who have worked there over the decade.

Expect to see works by Turner, Rossetti, Hockney, Blake, Burra, Rego, Stannard, Chagall and Bawden.

To mark the anniversary, there’ll also be two free tours available on Wednesday, June 21 – 10 years to the day since The Higgins Bedford first opened its doors.

But be warned, places are limited, so you’ll need to book in advance if you want to bag a spot.

In 2013 The Higgins Bedford opened its doors following an extensive refurbishment which united the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery and Bedford Museum.
