The much-loved Bedford Polish Heritage Day returns on Sunday, 3 May 2026, bringing a celebration of Polish culture, history, and community to the Harpur Suite and Harpur Square.

Organised by PBIC in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London, Stacja Dom Polski Bedford, the Polish Parish in Bedford, The Polish School in Bedford, the Polish Language and Culture Association (PLCA), Bla Bla Bedford, and a dedicated team of volunteers, the event promises a full day of cultural experiences for all ages.

• Live performances from Polish and local artists
• Cultural and educational exhibitions
• Family-friendly attractions
• Traditional Polish food and local businesses
• Community organisations and engagement opportunities
• To help support the costs of organising the event, two raffles** will be held during the day: a general raffle with a range of exciting prizes, and a dedicated art raffle showcasing work from local community artists.

Following the main event, celebrations will continue with an after party at Stacja Dom Polski Bedford, 18-20 Ashburnham Road MK40 1DS (Next to Bedford Train Station). Attendees are encouraged to follow the “Bedford Polish Heritage Day 2026” event on Facebook for updates on performers, attractions, and further announcements in the lead-up to the day.
