We had a lovely evening watching Jimmy Carr, was easy to navigate around , could do with some signage for location for people who are not used to the area.

I’ve visited the corn exchange many times for different events, the last being the 2018 beer festival in October. It’s a great venue and there are multiple levels inside. From what I can remember, the lower ground is where your toilets are, …

Booked seats for a show recently. On arrival I found another couple sitting in them. To be told by the usher that anyone could sit anywhere!. The experience ruined my mother's birthday present. Complained to the manager who hasn't even …

Classic repurposed important building in Central Bedford, close to the new Riverside development and it's Cinema and restaurants. Perfectly placed for a great night out. My particular evening had a 70's tribute band performing. The staff were organised, helpful and courteous and a good time was had by all!

I went to see Rapunzel here at Christmas time and it was awesome. There was plenty of crowd interaction. This play got me so excited, I made the mistake of watching Cats at the cinema the same day.

Could be cleaner. Popular place for theatre, music and boxing. Reliable service. Good for the theatre companies who use the venue. Looked after well.

Beautiful original old Bedford building, I always love attending functions here in this historic building, it always looks well maintained. Staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Attended a wake after the funeral of an old friend it was lovely to be able to celebrate the life of this person in this space.

There is a new vegetarian and vegan cafe just opened next to the main entrance to the Corn Exchange. It serves great coffee and other drinks, tasty snacks and a small lunch menu that will grow over time. Sometimes it seems that Bedford is …

Great venue. Easy parking in multi-storey carpark which is less than a 5 minute walk away. Went to see The Floyd Effect here. They would have been quite good if each band member hadn't vied to be the loudest. ???????????? They need a sound engineer if they want to be taken seriously!

An amazing venue hosting a wide variety of acts from drama to contemporary dance and comedy to classical music. Large auditorium with great acoustics, but minimal lighting rig. Definitely a venue for the lighter side of the performing arts, but still one of the best in the area.

The venue is let down by poor management. Despite operating the venue for many years the current operators still do not employee enough people to staff the bar. This had been an issue every time I have been to The Corn Exchange for many …

Oh yes! Great venue. Two brill bands played on the night, Spear of Destiny and the Skids. The sound was awesome. Good layout. Easy to get in and out of the venue as exits and toilets are not far from the main stage area. Good parking up the road from the venue. Highly recommended.

Nice venue and staff. Seats aren't plush, so sitting for 90 minutes was tough. Hence 4 stars.
Also if you are travelling from outside Bedford, check out the parking beforehand. There isn't any directly by the theatre so you might need to allow 10-15 minutes to park and walk to the venue. There is parking quite close by though

Nice venue but seating was cramped and uncomfortable. Just hard chairs linked together is not ideal for a 1hr 30mins show.

Jimmy Carr was great, but the door alarm kept going off every 10 seconds with a beep. Don't sit near no. Usher said nothing can be done

It's okay, but never really had the space for great entertainment.. Not an amazing stage, seats I think if they knocked through some walls and made a bigger theater then they would get bigger acts etc.. But as it stands it's like 2-3 stages and they charge theater prices..

For a venue to see an act where the audience is sitting down? Not great. Everything being on the same one tier (the floor) was very reminiscent of being in a school assembly.

The venue is rather like a tired old fashioned social club. The bar area is very basic the only benefit of this is the drinks are cheap. We went to see an Abba tribute band in April this attracted a large crowd. However the venue was …

All the facilities are adequate but the bar lacked atmosphere and was very functional.... with plastic glasses! The seating in the auditorium was comfortable, but the chairs were too close together.
