The sweet shop from childhood.

4 October 2026

We used to see far more traditional sweet shops like Arcadia, which makes a visit here feel like a step back in time. Dating back to 1905, this much-loved Bedford shop has plenty to tempt both children and adults. It’s an ideal stop for a sweet treat with the family, while parents and grandparents will likely find plenty to bring back memories of childhood.
