BedFest is returning for a day of live music, delicious food, and festival fun next weekend.
Running alongside the iconic Great Knaresborough Bed Race, BedFest is a full-day celebration to support Henshaws and raise vital funds for people living with sight loss and other disabilities.
This year’s BedFest is being held on Saturday 14th June from 12pm to 11pm at the Henshaws Arts & Crafts Centre in Knaresborough.
Foodies can indulge in Italian street food, including crispy fried calzones, mouth-watering arancini balls, along with fresh pizzas, freshly grilled BBQ food, Brymor ice cream, and plenty of sweet treats.
Craft beers will be served by Turning Point and Harrogate Brewing Co, alongside a selection of wines and gins from the Henshaws’s Gin Shack.
Music lovers are also in for a treat with an exciting line-up of local talent across the day and evening with performers including DJ Rory Hoy, Hot Sauce, DJ Trev, and Captain and the Bear.
There will also be face painting and hook-a-duck to keep kids entertained.
This year’s BedFest is kindly being sponsored again by Specsavers who are a long-term supporter of Henshaws.
Andy Bryer, retail director at Specsavers Harrogate, said:
“We're thrilled to be sponsoring BedFest again, now our third time around.
“It's a genuinely fantastic event that the whole community looks forward to.
“The work Henshaws does is life-changing, and we are thrilled to be a small part of that.
“Their dedicated staff and volunteers are truly inspiring, and they do so much for residents in and around Harrogate, so it's wonderful that all the proceeds go back into the community - if you've yet to attend, it's a must.'’
Clare Cunningham, Fundraiser at Henshaws, added:
“We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for BedFest this year. It’s always such a joyful event, a chance to enjoy fantastic music and food while making a real difference in the lives of the people we support.
“We’re so grateful to event sponsor, Specsavers, the local community and volunteers who help make it all happen.”
