Al Murray by The Chiswick Calendar stall on Green Days at the Bedford Park Festival 2024
The 2025 Bedford Park Festival will be opened by local resident Al Murray, best known as The Pub Landlord, currently on his national 'Guv Island' tour - including a sold-out appearance at the London Palladium. See ChiswickW4.com. Al Murray is also an acclaimed historian, who spoke at last year's Chiswick Book Festival, which is appropriate since we are celebrating the 150th anniversary of Bedford Park!
He will open the Festival at 11am on Saturday June 7th 2025, and then judge this year's Fancy Dress Competition on the theme of 'Chess' with Fr. Kevin Morris, vicar of St Michael & All Angels.
The Festival was opened in 2024 by actor Lara Pulver and in 2023 by broadcaster Nicki Chapman. Watch her Green Days Instagram video, as she opened last year's Festival - Here Comes Summer.

The Refreshment Tent will serve lunches, snacks, Fairtrade tea and coffee, delicious cakes, strawberries and cream teas. There'll also be a gin stall - and Win & Brandon's Smoothie Stall!
Activities include fairground rides, skittles, a coconut shy, beat-the-goalie and a children’s corner. Other stalls sell plants, toys, books, bric-a-brac and more, plus the Sunday Stalls. At the St Michael and All Angels stand, you will find information about the church, the Festival and the charities, as well as Festival merchandise for sale.
The Family Cycle Zone is a hugely successful fixture on Green Days weekend, with information on how to cycle in London, and our usual competition to win a bicycle, sponsored by Fudge's Cycles and Whitman & Co.
Our Electric Vehicle Zone is as big as ever with three local distributors displaying their electric and hybrid cars.
Since 2005, under the slogan ‘Keep Green Days Green’, the Bedford Park Festival has recycled all waste on the Green Days weekend, earning praise from Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. The Festival's campaign urges local people to look beyond the Green Days weekend and 'Make every day a Green Day'.
The waste management company Suez is handling our reycling, providing Green Days with waste containers and waste removal. As all waste can be put in the same bin, it makes it easier for everyone to recycle their rubbish and keep the site clean. All waste then goes to its local transfer station where it will be sorted and 100% recycled or used for energy, meaning that no waste will go to landfill.
