Bedford town centre boasts a truly amazing array of independent businesses. These places are adored, and not only provide incredible goods, products and services, but have created a thriving community and attract customers who remain loyal all year, every year.

Small Business Saturday is a campaign designed to boost the local economy. It takes place every year to highlight the importance of small, locally-owned and operated retailers. With a myriad of back streets, arcades, and courtyards with shops, salons and cafes, take the time to explore Bedford and uncover some treasures!

In our Business Directory you can find a list of all the independent businesses in our town centre.

And if you’re lucky enough to have been given Love Bedford Vouchers, this is an ideal time to go out and spend them!
