🎤 Tony Wright (Terrorvision) at Esquires, Bedford
Time: 19:30 - 22:45 Price: £15.00
ABOUT TONY....
To say Tony is a busy man would be an understatement. In addition to his three albums with his post-Terrorvision band ‘LaikaDog’, he has now released three solo albums to date. ‘Thoughts ’n’ All’ is just Tony and his acoustic guitar. The follow up, ‘Walnut Dash’, brought the evolution of Tony with his acoustic guitar and a full band. The latest ‘The Anti Album’ is set to be his most ambitious album yet. The album takes influence from his previous works whilst managing to carve out its own place in Tony’s respectable discography.
Tony always looks to pick up inspiration anywhere he can find it as he is always thinking about writing new material. Be sure to catch him on the road because you never know - you might just end up being the subject of one of his songs.

🏛 Free Panacea Museum in Bedford 2025
Time: 10:00 - 16:00 Price: £0.00
Discover the amazing story of the unique religious community that created its own Garden of Eden in the centre of Bedford. The museum has beautiful gardens to walk around.
⭐OPEN:
Thursday - Sunday, 10am - 4pm
(last admission 3.30pm)
📖 SOME INTERESTING HISTORY
The Panacea Society was originally called ‘The Community of the Holy Ghost’, and was made up mostly of women. Its leader was Mabel Barltrop – the widow of an English clergyman, and mother of four children– whose followers called her ‘Octavia’.
Octavia. The founder of the Panacea Society.
During the 1920s, followers of the Panacea Society moved to Bedford to live near Octavia. Eventually, the community was able to combine the gardens of several properties to form ‘the campus’ – a private space between the community houses, with a chapel at its centre.
From this headquarters, the Society operated a religious organisation which reached across the world. Over two thousand people became members of the Panacea Society, in Europe, North America and many parts of the British Empire and Commonwealth.
From its beginning, the Panacea Society expected the end of the world. Society members were convinced that God would soon act to bring about a new age – a period of peace and happiness called ‘the Millennium’.
The Panacea Society was part of a wider religious movement of groups concerned with prophecy. The Panaceans believed that God was speaking to them through Octavia, but her followers did not believe she was the only modern prophet. Rather, they accepted a lineage of seven prophetic voices since the late 1700s – a tradition they called ‘the Visitation’.
