Dave Hodgson on Bedford High Street during the Victorian Christmas Fair

The Victorian Fair - Delighted by the Stunning Footfall Figures

The footfall counters around the town centre showed a staggering 77% increase in the number of people in town during last weekend's Victorian Christmas Fair, in comparison with last year's figures.

While there are improvements which can be made if this is repeated, for example the markets company turning the stalls around on the High Street, it was fantastic to see so many people of all ages there and in other parts of town enjoying Bedford at Christmas time.
