Sports Island
The Sports Island is sponsored by the University of Bedfordshire and will feature sporting and martial arts demonstrations, a stage full of action with acrobatics and dance performances, ‘have a go’ activities and more.
The Sports Island ethos is all about actively encouraging people to have fun and get involved or stay involved in a wide range of physical activity. If you feel like taking up a new sporting activity or revisiting one from your past in 2022 then pop along to discover what Bedford has on offer! Local clubs, organisations and gyms will all be in attendance for visitors to find out more.
