The Bedford Park Festival

We’re delighted to once again be sponsoring one of Chiswick’s most cherished annual traditions — the Bedford Park Festival — as it returns this June for a very special year celebrating the 60th Bedford Park Festival.
We are delighted to be sponsors of the 60th Bedford Park Festival Concert and are proud to celebrate this milestone event with an outstanding performance featuring David Juritz, Milly Forrest, and Mark Viner. Tickets for the concert can be purchased by clicking on the link:- https://www.bedfordparkfestival.org/e/348/60th-bedford-park-festival-concert-david-juritz-milly-forrest-mark-viner

This event is always at the heart of our beautiful local community and so getting to contribute towards it every year is a wonderful highlight for us.
Running from June 12th to June 28th, this beloved two-week community and arts festival brings together residents and visitors alike in celebration of local talent, creativity, and history. Organised by St Michael & All Angels Church, the Festival opens with the vibrant Green Days fête & craft fair a joyful weekend of music, games, craft stalls, food, and fun on Acton Green.

As long-time admirers of the Festival’s role in enriching the local community, we’re especially proud to be supporting this landmark anniversary edition. From world-class classical concerts and theatre productions, to inspiring photography, art exhibitions, literary talks, garden tours and family events, the Bedford Park Festival is a true showcase of everything that makes this neighbourhood unique.

Funds raised from the Festival support not only the Church but also a number of local and international charities — another reason we’re proud to play a small part in this incredible community effort.

We hope to see you there — whether you’re browsing local art, voting in the photography competition, enjoying a performance, or simply soaking up the atmosphere.

Join us in celebrating Bedford Park’s past, present, and future.
