Antiques Arts Crafts and Collectors Fair
The monthly Antiques, Arts and Collectors Fair was launched on Thursday 22 June 2006 in Bedford to add some extra spice to the Town’s weekly Thursday Gourmet and Food Market.
Trevor Roff, Head of Economic Development and Regeneration at Bedford Borough Council said at the launch; “The Antiques Fair has the potential to develop into a very popular event as part of the Borough’s commitment to improve the retail offer in the Bedford town centre. An established Gourmet Food Market each Thursday is well attended and, therefore, provides a potential customer base for the new initiative as well as increased variety for town centre users.”
The Gourmet Food Market was established in March 2004 and is now a popular weekly feature on Bedford’s Town Centre’s, picturesque Harpur Square.
The Antiques Fair takes place in the adjacent Harpur Suite accommodating about 20 traders. This Fair appeals to traders with interesting collectible items and those selling compact high value items such as jewellery, porcelain, and the like.
Bedford Borough Council is committed to develop its “Bedford - Town of Markets” brand.
