More about The Slouth

Bedfordshire, England

The Slouth sits quietly in Bedfordshire where the pace of life is slower than a tea bag steeping in cold water, yet there are plenty of reasons to drop by. Without a list of venues to name and shame, we just know that local groups will have something cooking up at a community hall or park nearby before you even finish your morning coffee. It doesn't matter if you want to stretch your legs on the green or catch a show in a local space, because neighbours always look out for one another. Near Here keeps track of what's on so you can plan a visit without needing to ask round the village phone box.
