🥳 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

▪️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.

🏛 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

✨️ Darkness into Light Luton 2025
Saturday 10 May 2025
Time: 03:30
✨️ The Darkness into Light walk is an annual event that brings together communities in solidarity to raise awareness around self harm and suicide prevention. The walk symbolises hope for those affected by suicide and has become a global symbol of unity and connection.
▪️Meet at: 03:30
▪️Walk starts at: 04:15
🌟 ABOUT:
2024 saw Luton host its very first Darkness into Light walk. With a large Irish contingency, many of whom travelled to London each year to participate in and support the event, it seemed long overdue that we brought it to our town.
📍ROUTE
Setting off from the Black Swan in Luton, our route is through local parks and is easily accessible, with a predominantly flat, paved walk with some sections of the walk on grass.
We are hopeful the event continues to grow and become more successful year on year. Please contact us if you want to join the committee, our volunteering team or support in any way, and we look forward to seeing you on 10th May 2025.
🎟 REGISTRATION COST
You can register via the event link by scrolling down the Great Britain and choosing Luton.
▪️Adult: £20
▪️Ages 13-17: £5
▪️Under 13: Free
