The Bedford Park Festival is a two-week arts and community festival showcasing local music, theatre productions, art and photography, film, walks, talks and children's events. Save the dates: June 12th to 28th 2026, with Green Days weekend on June 13th and 14th.
The Festival is also one of Chiswick's biggest charity fundraising events, raising money for St Michael & All Angels Church and its three 2026 charities. See dozens of photos of last year's Festival events.
Last year we celebrated 150 years of Bedford Park, the first garden suburb: 1875-2025. This year we're celebrating 60 years of the Festival which saved Bedford Park from destruction by developers.
