Why Celebrate at The Embankment?
Christmas in Bedford is at its most atmospheric in the town centre. Twinkling lights along the streets, the bustle of the Christmas markets, and the return of local makers and independent traders all bring a real sense of occasion to the town.
Just moments from it all, The Embankment offers a riverside setting to step away from the crowds without stepping out of the celebration. Take a winter walk along the River Great Ouse, wrap up for the Christmas lights trail through town, or browse Bedford’s festive markets before settling in for food and drinks overlooking the water.
