Competition time: Win tickets as Bedford's Good Times celebrates 30 years
Bedford’s former weekly house and garage nights at the now defunct Enigma are celebrating 30 years with a homecoming event.
Following the success of a reunion at Esquires in August 2024, Good Times is back with another special event – and what’s more, you could win free tickets.
The homecoming event – which will be supporting the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) – takes place at Esquires again, on Friday, March 21.
Since launching in the mid 90s, Good Times has staged more than 350 events, becoming a defining part of Bedford’s nightlife. At its peak, the night welcomed around 2,000 people every Saturday and attracted clubbers from London and across the region – a time when people travelled to Bedford specifically for its unique club atmosphere.
Three decades later, the buzz is building once again with nostalgia posts generating over 40,000 views on social media.
The DJ line up for the 30th birthday event is:
Alex P
Rob Tissera
Fat Controller
Dave Bergin
But if you fancy getting your hands on two pairs of free tickets instead, simply comment on our Facebook post with your favourite Good Times memory. The winner, who must be aged 18+, will be selected by the Good Times crew after one week.
Event organiser Dave Bergin said: “The messages this year have been incredible – old friends reconnecting, people tagging each other, organising nights out months in advance. You can genuinely feel something building again.
“Good Times has always been about atmosphere and togetherness. Seeing that pride in Bedford reappear 30 years on is special. March 21 isn’t just an anniversary – it’s a homecoming.”
