🏡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, 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’.

🎭 Macbeth at Wrest Park, Silsoe
Friday 04 April 2025
Time: 19:00
🎭 “The earth hath bubbles as the water has, and these are of them.”
🗓 2025 SHOW DATES:
▪️Friday 4th April
▪️Saturday 5th April
ABOUT:
In the 19th Century the Dining Room at Wrest Park was the site of many private theatrical performances, with the installation of a moveable North Wall allowing for the extension of stage space. Lavish dinner parties were followed by dazzling theatrics. There were 250 guests - the gentry of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, friends and family.
🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
On the 4th and 5th of April the Dining Room will once again be a site for intimate theatre. The year is 1969.
Ahead of their return to the West-End for a run of Shakespeare’s tragedy ‘Macbeth’, two married actors - infamous for their tumultuous relationship - have invited the cast and crew for a dinner party at their home - Wrest Park.
Text is 95% Shakespeare’s original text with some small creative license taken.
As bottles of wine are emptied, plates cleared, and the script read aloud for the very first time, the line between drunken theatrics and sobering reality begins to fade. Hidden tensions, bitter resentment, and latent desire bubble to the surface as Shakespeare’s story of ambition, corruption, and seduction comes alive, and druidic forces descend upon the dining room and the world of glamour and vice it represents.
🕡 TIMES:
Gates will open at 6:30PM, and guests will enter from the front of the house to be guided through the first floor to the dining room.
Refreshments will be able to be purchased both before and during a twenty minute interval, ready for the play to begin at 7:00PM sharp.
🅿️ PARKING
Parking is available in the Tenants' Carpark from 18:30 - drive past the front of the house and turn right.
▪️AGE: Age guideline is 13+
🎟 TICKETS COST:
▪️General: £18.00 + £1.51 fee
▪️English Heritage Member's Ticket: £15.00 + £1.26 fee
▪️Disabled and Carer: £18.00 + £1.51 fee

▪️Saturday 5th April
ABOUT:
In the 19th Century the Dining Room at Wrest Park was the site of many private theatrical performances, with the installation of a moveable North Wall allowing for the extension of stage space. Lavish dinner parties were followed by dazzling theatrics. There were 250 guests - the gentry of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, friends and family.
🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
On the 4th and 5th of April the Dining Room will once again be a site for intimate theatre. The year is 1969.
Ahead of their return to the West-End for a run of Shakespeare’s tragedy ‘Macbeth’, two married actors - infamous for their tumultuous relationship - have invited the cast and crew for a dinner party at their home - Wrest Park.
Text is 95% Shakespeare’s original text with some small creative license taken.
As bottles of wine are emptied, plates cleared, and the script read aloud for the very first time, the line between drunken theatrics and sobering reality begins to fade. Hidden tensions, bitter resentment, and latent desire bubble to the surface as Shakespeare’s story of ambition, corruption, and seduction comes alive, and druidic forces descend upon the dining room and the world of glamour and vice it represents.
🕡 TIMES:
Gates will open at 6:30PM, and guests will enter from the front of the house to be guided through the first floor to the dining room.
Refreshments will be able to be purchased both before and during a twenty minute interval, ready for the play to begin at 7:00PM sharp.
🅿️ PARKING
Parking is available in the Tenants' Carpark from 18:30 - drive past the front of the house and turn right.
