Don't miss chance to bag those last-minute gifts at Bedford Christmas Market

Held at Harpur Square on Saturday, December 21, there'll be a craft and gift market, with traders from Handmade in Bedfordshire and Made in Bedford at No13, alongside other seasonal and market stalls.

Both Handmade in Bedfordshire and Made in Bedford are well-established groups of local artists, designers, makers and producers. Made in Bedford run a shop, café and art display space at No13 on St Paul’s Square.

There'll also be entertainment throughout the day with Gumbles Amusements, balloon modelling and the Salvation Army’s Brass Band.

Mayor Dave Hodgson said: “Our Bedford Christmas Market will be a great chance to pick up some beautiful and unique presents from just a few days before Christmas Day."

There will also be markets in Bedford town centre every day from Wednesday, December 18 all the way to Christmas Eve.
