Bedford Borough Council uses an online tendering process for catering, bar, confectionery and slush pitches. You can find out how to tender on our downloadable In-Tend guide and use our handy checklist to guide you through the process.
The 2024 River Festival will include countless river activities, eight live music and performance areas, the Sports Island, Family Island, Green Earth Village, the wonderful offerings of the Festival Market, Bedford Festival of Motoring, plus so much more!
Make sure you keep the 20th & 21st July 2024 free in your diaries so that you don’t miss out on any of the action.
