Arts, crafts and such
- Cecil Higgins Art Gallery and Museum, Castle Close, Bedford - Pre Raphaelite paintings and wonderful porcelain.
Bedford Museum - early Saxon stuff.
The Art Centre, Lurke Street, Bedford, and the Eagle Gallery, Castle Road, Bedford, to see the work of local Bedfordshire artists - contemporary stuff mainly.
- Not my scene primarily!
- what period is 'pukka art'?
- There is an art shop (cannot remember the name) under Lurke Street Car Park.
- Gem Hut Mill Street next to the Mission Yeah...check out this shop for something different and not too expensive. Great stuff most unusual.
- The art shop under the Lurke street car park. Lots of stuff, if you're arty and actually care.
- cecil higgens gallery, yeh baby.
- ARTLINE TATTOO STUDIO, the best tattoo and piercing parlour in Bedford!! great quality artwork done by Lee for competative prices... very well worth a visit, also has many new colours that are hard to find elsewhere, Lee has also been known to help people with thier ideas and create 1 offs
- Polly Flinders on the High Street worth a look. Great fancy dress shop on first floor.
- bedford has a museum and an art gallery, and they're both free so pop along if you're feeling cultural. Again, I'm afriad, Milton Keynes whips Bedfords arse, and the gallery and theatre are way better.
- Polly Flinders at the bottom of the High Street is fantastic, some really originally crafty funky stuff, and the bonus of a sweet and twee dolls house emporium at the back of the shop. good for pressies and ickle nick nacks.
- do tattoes qualify as art? if they do, in clair court next to planet clothing(all the good places are crmmed together) theres lee the tattooist. its quite smal but theyve got sum fuckin awesome tattooes there
- Polly Flinders on the high street is a really cute art and craft shop, some stuff
is quite expensive but they do have some funky things!
- There is a tiny court of shops just out of the main centre of town. It's down the alley accross the road from the Sally army shop. It has some really novel shops down there, but you still have to look hard to find it!
- Cecil Higgins Art Gallery usually has an exhibition of art at one time or another.
- The best thing about Bedford is that the net's best [says the proprietor?] gallery, Art Of Europe, lives there.
