The Corn Exchange

About the Theatre

Bedford is one of RARE Productions original first four areas.

Originally started in 2005 at Bedford School Theatre, part of the prestigious Bedford School four years later the group moved to its current home of the Bedford Corn Exchange.

Over the years the group have done many memorable performances of shows such as Les Miserables, Hairspray and Little Shop Of Horrors.

Bedford Corn Exchange itself has had a remarkable history. Built in 1874 it has played host to many noteworthy stars. Bing Crosby, Glenn Miller, Humphrey Bogarde and Marlene Dietrich have all ‘trod the boards’ at the Exchange. It is also the home of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
