This year will be the 19th year that the Festival has taken place in St Paul’s Church in the centre of Bedford in support of the Church and the Charity.

It is now a firm favourite by many who see this as their start to Christmas to see our historic and beautiful St Paul’s Church lit by over 70 trees decorated by so many community groups, schools and firms. Jayne Beard Associates are very kindly sponsoring the Festival in memory of Jayne Beard who was a former Chairman of the Bedford Hospitals Charity.
