On Friday 1st March Employee Appreciation Day arrives. Time to give a cheer for the people who turn up day after day and make the cogs turn. New staff who are still learning, employees who have been there longer than you’d expected, and those in between. A show of appreciation is always appreciated! So maybe pack up at lunchtime or a little bit earlier and head into one of the many cafes or restaurants for a meal with the team. For where time is precious, maybe a takeaway treat for afternoon or morning tea? Or perhaps with a Love Bedford Gift Voucher to spend in town. There are so many ways to show your appreciation and we’ve compiled the list below to get you started.
- For a meal or night out, visit our Food and Drink directory for Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, British, cocktails, wine and beer, and more!
- Maybe some team building (ferocious competition?) at the Escape Rooms or mini golf at Putt Putt Noodle. Not forgetting the newly arrived Spiral Freerun for adrenaline junkies.
- For something sweet, also in our Food and Drink directory you’ll find bakeries, patisseries, as well as the magical Arcadia Sweet Shop
- A fun or silly something from one of the many gift or bookshops, fashion, accessories can all be found in our Shopping directory
- Enjoy an afternoon tea, or go large with a visit to the thermal spa at The Bedford Swan Hotel
- As we’ve noted, time is precious so Love Bedford Gift Vouchers are always a winner. Redeemable in over 200 businesses in the town centre, enjoy a meal, morning or afternoon tea, visit a museum or catch a show! Purchase them at Lotus Store on Castle Lane, Michael R Peters on The Broadway or online
