A co-creation between 8 artists in Bedford and hundreds of stories of food memories from members of the public, fed into this audio trail full of heart and flavour. Encounter poems, short-stories and audio plays inspired by Bedford’s culinary heritage. Bedford is arguably UKs most diverse town, with the highest number of mixed heritage residents, and with the largest Italian diaspora community globally outside of New York. A vibrant market town, and home to many independent cafes and restaurants serving cuisines from around the world with thriving diaspora communities. Enjoy this taste of Bedford’s past and present with this heritage audio walk produced by Words Set Free and Echo Chamber Audio.
