Make the most of summer

Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon from 28 June to 31 August (except 12 & 13 July) the Stepping Stone Café in Bedford Park will be open from 2pm to 6pm, serving hot and cold drinks, homemade cakes, and other refreshments. The Café has been run by Brickhill Baptist Church with the involvement of several other local churches and the support of Bedford Borough Council since 2003.

Why we do this

Everyone serving in the Café is an unpaid volunteer and the cakes are made in homes and donated free of charge. Christians believe that God has called them to declare His love to the world in what we say and what we do. One of the ways we can show our town this love is by running projects such as this Café. We’re not asking for anything in return, we’re not looking to make a profit, we just want to serve the people who come here.

Live music

There is also live music provided every Sunday afternoon, showcasing fresh talent from around the country and bringing you the best rising local stars. All performances start at 3pm, live at the bandstand. Each gig is free, just turn up and enjoy. For more information, check out Stepping Stone Live.
