Guest tenor and soprano performers will be announced soon and the compère of the show will be Sam Roberts.

Concert goers will also be able to enjoy a stunning laser show and special effects finale.

Cuffe & Taylor promoter Mark Harrison said: “Proms in the Park has always been a favourite in the social calendar for Bedfordians and its absence last year left many feeling disappointed.

“We have listened to the general public’s wishes and we are delighted that we have been able to bring it back for 2025.

“This beloved event has long been a cherished institution in Bedford, bringing people together to enjoy music, camaraderie and the vibrant atmosphere that defines our town.”

The event will embrace a picnic-style atmosphere, with prom goers allowed to bring their own food, drink, furniture, and finest proms attire. The family friendly event will be suitable for all ages.

Although Proms in the Park is famous for its fireworks displays, the promoters have decided to forgo them this year – in consideration of ongoing discussions regarding noise impact on animals and pets.

However, there will be a range of stage pyrotechnics and special effects and a laser show finale.
