Thank you Bedford!
we had an amazing 6 weeks
Thank you to everyone who worked with us to make our first pop-up creative space such an enormous success.
We held an incredible programme of exhibitions, performances and community events.
Over the coming weeks we will be sharing information about what we delivered as well as our plans for more POP activity in the future.
A new space for everyone
POP Bedford was a creative hub pop-up, situated right in the heart of our town centre at 5 Midland Road. Made possible by the support of Harnan Real Estate, we took over the space with a lively and engaging six-week programme of events produced by local artists, creatives and community groups. From exhibitions to live performances, poetry slams, to conversation corners and creative workshops, our aim was to bring people closer together and help reimagine where we live.
This space acted as an extension of the public realm through accessible, experience-based interactions and co-creating for those living, working, and visiting Bedford. POP Bedford was a pilot project to trial ideas and find out what the community of Bedford would like to see and use. We hope the project will pave the way for a more permanent, community-led creative space.
