Bedford Corn Exchange is a Bedford Borough Council Cultural Service. Whether you’re looking for a great evening out at a show, to spend time with friends and family, or for the perfect venue for your event, we can’t wait to see you.
We manage three key spaces that make up the Corn Exchange complex – the Main Auditorium, Harpur Suite and Howard Room. Our pre-show bar is open an hour before the events and evening box office is situated on the East Entrance landing.
We’re the largest venue for entertainment and events in Bedford, welcoming nearly 40,000 audience members to shows last year. Our diverse programme of music, comedy, dance, theatre, and family shows means there’s something for everyone on offer.
We’re proud to be one of four UK residencies for the Philharmonia Orchestra outside London. You can find out more at www.philharmonia.co.uk/concerts/residencies
