Through our Bought in Bedford campaign, we are sharing the love for our Bedford Indies and giving away a £50 voucher every month this year to one of our readers to spend in their favourite local independent business.
Our first #BoughtInBedford winner has been chosen, so congratulations to Jennifer Howard, who emailed us to spread the love for Charisma in the Old Arcade.

She said: “I bought this lovely kimono jacket at Charisma in the Arcade not long ago. It’s perfect to cover up or dress up a T-shirt or vest top and still be cool on a hot day.”
£50 to spend at Fabric World is now winging its way to Jennifer, and you could be next, simply by tagging your social media posts or emailing us with your #BoughtInBedford purchases.
We want to see all your #BoughtInBedford purchases, and we truly believe that our independent businesses make a big difference to Bedford.
To be in with a chance to win, just follow these simple steps:
- Make a purchase from one of Bedford Borough’s brilliant indies. This can be an item, food, a service (for instance, a haircut, beauty treatment), or a drink….dare we even suggest a coffee from one of our many fine coffee shops?
- Take a photo of what you have purchased.
- Share the photo publicly on an Instagram post using the hashtag #BoughtInBedford. You can also tag @bedfordindependent and the business you bought it from (optional).
- If you don’t have an Instagram account or a public profile, you can email win@bedfordindependent.co.uk with a photo, including a description of what you bought, where you purchased it, with your name. We will publish the photo, description and name on our Instagram account.
Winners will be contacted through Instagram or email after the last day of each month.
