UPCOMING EVENTS

May - July 2025 - Guided Walks in Central Bedfordshire 

Last year, we received an engagement grant from The National Archives and undertook a project called In Step with History. The project focused on engagement in Central Bedfordshire by providing archivist-led guided walking tours in Stotfold, Houghton Regis, Barton-le-Clay and Langford to ‘connect archives with their communities’. The walks undertaken every Thursday were a great success; well attended by locals and people from further afield. In order to develop these walks lots of research was undertaken and this information has now been added to our Community History pages making these a valuable resources for members of the public (and our archivists!) to access via our website.

Unfortunately some people were unable to attend due to the day and time that the walks were taking place. So this year we will carry out a set of walks in May and June that will run on Saturdays, which will hopefully give those previously unable to attend the opportunity to join us. If you are interested in coming on one (or all!) or our walks, contact us by emailing: archive@bedford.gov.uk for further details and to book a place.
