The Place Theatre, Bedford

Maps and Directions

The Place can be found at the top of Bradgate Road, off Goldington Road (the main A428 Northampton to A1/Cambridge road), in Bedford.

Turn off Goldington Road into Bradgate Road (look for a brown ‘theatre’ sign here, not very easy to spot), and follow the road to the top. At the mini roundabout, turn right down a track, passing in front of the large green building (the Badminton Club), and continue for a further 60 metres - The Place is on the left. See the maps at the bottom of this page.
