Cuffe & Taylor, organisers of the Bedford Summer Sessions concert series, have confirmed that after overwhelming positive responses from Bedfordians, they are bringing Proms in the Park back to town for 2025.
Last week organisers hinted it may return and asked people across the Borough and beyond if it was something they’d like to see again. It turns out quite a few people do and there was an almost universally positive response at the prospect of the proms returning.

This afternoon in a social media post, organisers confirmed it will be back.
‘Wow, thank you for your comments about a Proms event in Bedford Park this summer; we are happy to confirm that Proms in the Park will go ahead on Sunday, 6 July 2025 as a picnic concert event as part of our TK Maxx presents Bedford Summer Sessions series,’ they wrote.
Details of how the latest Bedford Park Proms event will look are yet to be released as organisers say they want to make sure they get everything right.
‘We want to take all aspects into account from our promenaders wants/wishes, through to the commercial aspects of our business, the local community & any fans who are new to Bedford Proms, as we continue working on the event & the show line up,’ they added.
More details are expected next week.
In previous years, Bedford Park Proms has featured a variety of renowned operatic performers including Lesley Garratt, Sheridan Smith, Sarah Fox, Danny Mac, Michael Ball, and Aled Jones.
In 2021, the event celebrated its 25th anniversary with performances by tenor Wynne Evans, soprano Victoria Joyce, the London Gala Orchestra, and the Bedford Choral Society.
