Notes and Lines - Celebrating a century of the Bedfordshire Festival

To mark this special centenary year of the Bedfordshire Festival, a commemorative book has been commissioned, giving a unique insight into the events and performances that have shaped the Festival’s 100-year history.

‘Notes and Lines: 100 years of the Bedfordshire Festival of Music, Speech & Drama’ has been written by local writer and Festival historian Jean Duivenvoorden, who has collected and curated fascinating articles and accounts from the Festival’s archives, showcasing the rich and varied history of one of the UK’s oldest and most popular Festivals.

The release of ‘Notes and Lines’ will coincide with the Festival’s Centenary Celebration Concert which will take place at the Bedford Corn Exchange on 16th October 2022, featuring a line-up of stand-out current Festival talent and past performers who have gone on to achieve huge success on stage and screen.
