The fun doesn’t stop this weekend!

This Sunday - Like The Beatles, but also love Dub and dance music? Ever find that Love Me Do could just do with a little drum and bass riddim backing it up? Well, we have something just for you. At every major festival, somewhere on the line up you will come across The Beatles Dub Club on the listing, and for good reason - it’s the most fun you can possibly have while listening to arguably, the greatest band of all time.

Intrigued? You should be - tickets are just a tenner and there is simply nothing better on a rainy bank holiday Sunday. Support comes from DAVE from Roll Your Own Records, with tix from See and local outlets.

What a time to be alive!

The only way to kick off our summer season and always one of the highlights of the calendar – FoodDrunk is returning to Bedford Esquires on Bank Holiday Saturday 25th May for the 9th, all day street food, music and gin party!

Bedford’s first street food festival took place here in 2017 and returns bigger and better for 2024, with more bands and DJs than ever before.

We will once again be transforming the car park into a mini food market, whacking up the bunting and even getting out a few hay bales for good measure. With sounds as good as the tastes throughout the day, we will have two indoor rooms of live music, with the Roll Your Own Records crew taking over the outdoor area.

We are working with some of the most respected street food sellers in the UK. All of our street food vendors have 5 star hygiene ratings and they have all been tested by us first.

FOOD LINE UP:
TACO DIABLO - FOLD ME CLOSE PIZZA - CROWN & HEEL SMASH BURGERS

LIVE LINE UP (more to be confirmed):
THE TARROWS - IZZY & MAX - FRENZY - UPRISING - BLACK RIDGE - GEB - AMY LEEDER - MOONDOG - LIAM BURKE - TIMMY TURNUPS (Ouse Valley)

On top of this we will be serving a selection of over 15 specialist gins, gin cocktails and mixers limited to FoodDrunk and not on the Esquires menu, as well as the usual bar offerings.

Entry is FREE all day – gates open 12pm for lunch - All ages
