When you choose the Bedford Corn Exchange for your function, you can be confident that you have the full support of a team of dedicated professionals who value their customers and take pride in providing a service of the highest possible standard.
Behind the historic façade is a building capable of meeting the needs of a variety of clients. The complex is comprised of three main spaces, all inter-linked, and the Civic Theatre, situated in close proximity to the Corn Exchange. With rooms of all sizes from a compact meeting space to an impressive auditorium, maybe the most important feature is the flexibility afforded by the arrangement of these rooms and the configurations possible within them.
Each of the main spaces has its own bar, kitchen, toilets and cloakroom facilities. All areas of the venue can be connected through video and audio links and we are also able to offer our customers an audio or video recording service for all functions held within the venue. A full in-house bar and catering service can be provided dependent on individual clients’ needs. Lift and ramp access makes the venue accessible to disabled customers and an induction loop system is available for people with impaired hearing.
