Astons Bedford

Astons is a stylish over-30s club and cocktail lounge in the heart of Bedford, offering a more grown-up alternative to the town’s traditional late-night venues. Located on Bedford High Street, it combines cocktails, music, dancing and live entertainment in a distinctive multi-level setting.

The venue has several different spaces to enjoy, including a ground-floor bar and dance floor with a retro 1970s-inspired design, bringing a touch of the Saturday Night Fever era to Bedford. Upstairs, the venue hosts live music, singers, bands, comedians, magicians and tribute acts, giving the programme plenty of variety.

Astons is particularly suited to those looking for a night out aimed at a more mature audience. Its over-30s focus gives it a different atmosphere from many of Bedford’s younger late-night venues, while the music programme draws heavily on popular sounds from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

For something a little more relaxed, the venue also features a starlit garden bar and outdoor seating, providing an alternative space away from the main dance floor. Cocktails, champagne, wine and spirits are available, making it suitable for everything from a few drinks with friends to a full evening of entertainment.

Its High Street location is another advantage. Astons is surrounded by Bedford’s restaurants, bars and other nightlife venues, so it can easily form part of a larger evening in the town centre. You can enjoy dinner elsewhere before heading to Astons for drinks, live entertainment and dancing.

Whether you are looking for somewhere to celebrate, enjoy live music or simply have a night out with friends without heading to a typical younger nightclub, Astons offers something different. Its combination of an over-30s atmosphere, cocktails, live entertainment and retro-inspired dance floor makes it an interesting addition to Bedford’s nightlife scene.
