Where the water comes alive
The ever-popular Bedford River Festival takes place in July every other year, and will be back bigger and better for 2026. As always, the River Festival is free to attend and offers something for everyone – including live entertainment and activities, a funfair, raft and dragon boat races, plus the heritage village, sports village, continental market and the water sports arena.
With over 250,000 visitors, the Bedford River Festival is described as the second largest outdoor event of it’s kind in the UK after Notting Hill Carnival.
Take the Coach and you can enjoy a glass or two of Pimms or Prosecco at the Festival. No worries about driving and let us worry about the parking.
