We’re excited to announce that Love Bedford is here to stay — and it’s growing.
We remain committed to championing Bedford — promoting local businesses, showcasing events, and helping residents and visitors discover all that the area has to offer. From today (1 April 2025), Love Bedford will broaden its reach to represent not just the town centre, but businesses across the wider Bedford area. Whether you’re an independent café or a hidden gem in the suburbs, Love Bedford is here to put you on the map.
Following the closure of BedfordBID, we’d like to thank the entire BID team for their hard work and dedication to the town over the years. We’re proud to continue flying the flag for Bedford and will be maintaining the Love Bedford website, social media channels, and mailing list — ensuring the town retains a strong and visible presence online.
This is a fresh start — and we want to shape it with you.
We’re inviting local business owners to help shape the future of Love Bedford. What would you like to see? How can we better support and represent your business? We’re planning an open session soon to introduce ourselves, share plans around future features, and hear your ideas directly.
Our team brings fresh thinking, decades of experience in marketing and web development, and a genuine passion for Bedford. We’re here to build something useful, collaborative, and lasting.
Under new management, Love Bedford will broaden its reach to represent not just the town centre, but businesses across the wider Bedford area. Whether you’re an independent café or a hidden gem in the suburbs, Love Bedford is here to put you on the map.
Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be unveiling new features on the Love Bedford website, announcing local partnership opportunities, and sharing even more updates, events, and stories from across the community.
Local businesses that were not previously listed on Love Bedford’s directory can now sign up to be added to our new directory waiting list at lovebedford.co.uk/register.
