Come to the market hungry everyone, because this addition is just 👌😮‍💨 @char_catering will be firing up their custom grill so we can all experience the Char! 🔥 “Local to MK, Ben and Ben began Char catering to bring the rich traditions of the Argentine asado to the three counties! With their shared expertise in fire, cooking, flavour and diy they hand built the Char- the statement piece that draws the attention of crowds and cooks the master pieces served. A carefully crafted menu including 8 hour smoked lamb and pork alongside a variety of savoury and sweet smoked options there is truly something to inspire everyone.” Swipe through to see the menu and try not to drool…. See you Sunday! 10th May | Harpur Sq 10am till 3pm #bedfordshirefoodies

The first of our street food offerings for May’s market is local business @cafe_dhaba Based in Great Denham, their restaurant welcomes you to enjoy their authentic Indian food - where taste meets tradition - and they live by the saying; “Atithi Devo Bhava” (The guest is God). The aroma of fresh spices fills the air, slow-simmered curries bubble in clay pots, and naans are cooked in tandoor, all made to order. If that’s made you hungry for more, then the team have a special market menu of delicious Indian street food for Sunday so swipe to see! Find Cafe Dhaba and the rest of the market on Harpur Square in Bedford town centre. Sunday 10th May 10am till 3pm Let’s all shop small and support local ❤️❤️❤️

May’s music is looking mighty fine!! We have @mygirltheriver up first. Artist, songwriter & producer Kris, will be bringing a lovely dose of Americana to the market ahead of their new single release ‘Heavy’ on 29th May and their album launch in September! Their track Up the Mountain is accompanying this post so enjoy 🏔️ Next up we have Fruit & Veg! “A new collaboration from Ampthill’s ever-rotating music scene, Fruit & Veg brings together the singer/guitarist of shanty legends Freddie’s Barnet @freddiesbarnet (recently name-checked on @bbcradio2 ) with the guitarist powerhouse of Chalk & Cheese @chalk_cheese_band (also with BBC exposure after their 2024 Xmas single).  Wielding guitars and mandolin, expect a mix of English shanties, Irish folk, country, western, blues, pop, rock and the kitchen sink!“ It’s gonna be a good ‘un!! 🙌🙌🙌 Swipe through for set times ⏱️ Our music is kindly sponsored by the @cellarbarbedford 💙 a great spot for live music, top drinks and amazing vibes - you can find them on Bedford High St, right opposite the silver faces! #freelivemusic #bedfordmusicscene
