New for 2022, Castle Mound will host the BBC Introducing Stage, giving local up-and-coming musicians another opportunity to be involved in the River Festival. For vegan goodies and homewares, visit the Green Earth Vegan Lounge behind the Mound. This area is also on the doorstep of The Higgins Bedford.
Castle Mound has long offered an excellent viewing spot for the various river activities taking place throughout the Festival weekend, including the racing and the illuminated boat parade on Saturday evening. Visitors can enjoy the catering options on offer or bring a picnic.
Castle Mound is kindly sponsored by Gallagher Developments.
The 2022 River Festival will include countless river activities, eight live music and performance areas, the Sports Island, Pirate Island, the wonderful offerings of the Festival Market, plus so much more.
Make sure you keep the 23rd & 24th July 2022 free in your diaries so that you don’t miss out on any of the action.
