"A creative gym for your ideas": New hub in Bedford calls on designers, artists and writers

Called The Manor, it will meet at The White Horse in Newnham Avenue later this month.

In an appeal on Facebook, organiser Jay said: “The Manor is a new creative hub being built in Bedford. A space where creatives, freelancers, and solopreneurs can work, collaborate, run workshops, record podcasts, and grow their businesses together.

“Think of it like a creative gym for your ideas.”

In this initial meeting – on Thursday, March 26 at the pub at 6.30pm – Jay is hoping for feedback from Bedford creatives.
