A welcome message from His Grace, The Duke of Bedford.
I would like to welcome you to the annual Woburn Oyster Festival which is now in its eighteenth year.
In addition to the popular attractions of the craft and gift fayre and numerous food stalls, including the all important oysters, there are a number of events and experiences in the village for the whole family to enjoy, including a children’s area and art exhibition in the church as well as a climbing wall, street entertainers and range of musical talent.
This fine Georgian village is renowned for its stylish restaurants, good pubs, specialist shops and art galleries. Historic Woburn Abbey and the award-winning Woburn Safari Park lie at the heart of an Estate whose activities are many and varied and of particular pride to us all is the outstanding deer herd which you will see roaming freely throughout the Park.
I hope you enjoy the 2011 Oyster Festival and we look forward to welcoming you back to Woburn in the near future.
Andrew Bedford
