Bedford River Festival

Join us for an action-packed Bedford River Festival weekend, with fantastic food, refreshing drinks and family-friendly entertainment just moments from the embankment.

Passing by? Stop in for our Asado BBQ or have a go on our free Spin the Wheel, with prizes including overnight stays, afternoon tea, spa experiences and more.

Head through to the Pen & Cob Terrace to enjoy cold drinks, hot pizzas, tasty nibbles and soft serve ice cream, plus the launch of our new frozen cocktails – Spicy Margarita and Strawberry Daiquiri.

Or unwind in our Damm Beer Garden, serving ice-cold Estrella Damm, Damm Lemon, Victoria Málaga and Estrella Damm 0.0%, alongside a Champagne & Oyster Bar. Better still, you’ll find some of the cheapest pints on the embankment available across both the Pen & Cob Terrace and Damm Beer Garden all weekend long.

Visiting early? Join us between 9am and 12pm on Saturday and Sunday for a breakfast roll and hot drink for just £6.50.

Whether you’re looking for a quick bite as you explore the festival or somewhere to relax with friends and family, Bedford Swan Hotel is the perfect place to enjoy the weekend.
