Welcome! From bumps to teens we have it covered.
This is your one-stop site for everything you need to know about living in Biggleswade with children.
The Summer Reading Challenge 2025 is starting in Central Bedfordshire Libraries on Friday 18 July!
Perfect for children, the challenge is to read 6 library books, including e-books and audiobooks, over the summer holidays.
Sign up for free at the library from Friday 18 July.

There are so many parks across Biggleswade and the surrounding villages now that it is hard to keep up with them all! It's especially tricky to know which ones are suitable for what age groups, which ones have parking, picnic tables etc. So I would love to draw on the knowledge of you all.
Can you help me by sharing a quick tried and tested review of a local park you have been to? Photos are a bonus (but please don't include anyone who you do have permission to have a photo of).
If you'd like to take part please email [email protected] with the following:
I'll get your reviews live as soon as I can and I'll be sure to share them on social media too!
Thank you to Louisa who sent me through this idea on Facebook.
