The countdown to Christmas is on (less than 100 days), which can only mean one thing – our 2025 Bought In Bedford magazine will soon hit the streets.
After the success of last year’s magazine and shop local campaign, we’re once again shining a spotlight on the town’s best shops and businesses, with plenty of gift inspiration and a timely reminder to shop local.

This year, we’ll be featuring a bigger ‘what’s on’ guide, and we’d love to hear about your festive events.
If you’ve got something you’d like to shout about, please send details* to clanger@bedfordindependent.co.uk by Friday, 5 October.
Everything from carol concerts to craft fairs, shopping events to festive workshops, we want to hear about it to share in the magazine and in our weekly What’s On guide too.
“We had such a great response to last year’s magazine, we can’t wait to do it all again this year,” said commercial director, Julia Course.
“We’re passionate about raising the profile of Bedford Borough and want people to visit, to shop local, enjoy great food and drink, and explore all the borough has to offer.”
We can’t guarantee to feature every event, as space is limited, but don’t forget you can also advertise your business or event in the pages by contacting Julia at julia@bedfordindependent.co.uk.
Copies of Bought in Bedford 2025 will be available from early November.
