🏛 Free Panacea Museum in Bedford 2025
Saturday 10 May 2025
Time: 11:00 - 17:00 Price: £0.00
🏡A FREE MUSEUM IN BEDFORD- The Panacea, a beautiful Victorian House.
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, 11am - 5pm
(last admission 4.30pm)
📖 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’.
🧒 FOR CHILDREN
Children trails, colouring sheets and wooden toys in the activity space in the main museum building 'Castleside'.
☕ FOOD AND DRINK
Tea room serving refreshments, hot & cold snacks with indoor & outdoor seating
🚼 TOILET INFORMATION
Baby changing can be found in a toilet that is big enough to fit a pushchair in

💖 CHARITY STALLS
We believe that it is our responsibility to re-pay the community for all the support
we’ve enjoyed over 25 years. So we have always made it our responsibility
to help charities with a special offer. We don’t give money but help them to help
themselves by giving them a very special deal on the price of a pitch. We particularly like having the smaller charities with us. For instance every year a husband and wife raise money for a special school to have an outing and any money left over is used towards much-needed equipment. Speak to one of our team, or phone us on 07852 70 70 74.
🗺 HOW TO FIND US
You can find us on the A507 just outside of Baldock. Coming from the A1 take the second exit from the ‘Tesco’ roundabout, follow this road to the next roundabout and then turn right. We are on the right just up the road.
📍For Sat navs use SG7 6RD which will bring you close enough to the field.

🥳 Abigail's Party at The Place Theatre in Bedford
Saturday 10 May 2025
Time: 19:30
🥳 Step into the suburban world of 1977, where the gin flows as freely as the tension in Mike Leigh’s iconic dark comedy, Abigail’s Party.
📆 2025 DATES & TIMES
▪️07 May, 19:30
▪️08 May, 19:30
▪️09 May, 19:30
▪️10 May, 19:30
🎭 ABOUT:
Beneath the veneer of polite conversation and cheese and pineapple sticks lies a simmering undercurrent of ambition, resentment, and social one-upmanship. As Beverly and her husband Laurence host a soirée for their unsuspecting guests—Angela, Tony, and the anxious Sue (whose teenage daughter, Abigail, is throwing a party of her own nearby)—the evening spirals into a brilliantly uncomfortable clash of class, aspiration, and ego.
A sharply observed satire of middle-class pretensions and the cracks beneath the surface, Abigail’s Party is as deliciously excruciating as it is laugh-out-loud funny.
Come join us for a night of awkward encounters, passive-aggressive exchanges, and 1970s nostalgia at its finest.
