August Activity Days

Harpur CentreBedford Borough Council is launching August Activity Days, a free event designed to promote an active and healthy lifestyle for residents of all ages. Taking place on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 August from 10am – 4pm in Harpur Square, Bedford, the event promises something for everyone.

The two-day extravaganza will feature a wide range of free activities, including dance, fitness, and sports sessions. From street dance to yoga, body combat to pickleball, there will be something to suit all tastes and abilities.

The first hour of each day will be dedicated to SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), offering inclusive activities for all ages, plus there’ll be a rhyme time for young children too.

In addition to the physical activities, a Health Village will provide information and advice on health and wellbeing. Visitors can learn about the Healthwise programme, learn how to access blood pressure checks, and find out more about mental health support.
