FACE PAINTER BEDFORD
Bringing Colour and Creativity to Events Across Bedford
If you are looking for a professional face painter in Bedford, Welcome!
Glitter-Arty provides artistic face painting, glitter makeup and creative event entertainment for parties, festivals and corporate events across Bedford and the wider Bedfordshire area.
Our work often takes us across London and throughout the UK, but Bedford is where the business began. This is where our artistic style developed and where we have spent years painting both children and adults at events of every size.
We regularly work across Bedford, Kempston, Bromham, Clapham, Oakley, Ampthill and surrounding Bedfordshire villages, supporting celebrations, festivals and family events throughout the region.
Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of seeing many local families return to us at birthdays, festivals and seasonal events. When a child spots our station across a crowd, or parents make a point of seeking us out because they trust the results, it brings a genuine sense of connection to the day.
Although Glitter-Arty now supports events across the UK, Bedford remains at the heart of what we do.
Ten Years of Local Events and Community Partnerships
For almost a decade we have worked with many of the organisations and businesses that help shape Bedford’s events calendar.
These include:
-
Bedford Borough Council
-
Kempston Parish
-
Brickhill Parish Council
-
Love Bedford (Bedford BID)
-
The Harpur Shopping Centre
Through these partnerships we have supported a wide range of seasonal and community events including Christmas markets, summer festivals, school holiday activities and town centre celebrations.
Each event brings a slightly different atmosphere, and our designs adapt accordingly, from quick festival-ready face painting to more detailed artistic designs depending on the audience and theme.
Events That Celebrate Bedford’s Community
Bedford has a vibrant events scene, and we have been fortunate to contribute to many of the town’s best-known celebrations.
Bedford River Festival
One of the largest events in Bedfordshire, bringing music, colour and thousands of visitors to the riverside. The atmosphere always inspires bold, expressive face painting designs that match the energy of the festival.
Millfest in Bromham
A relaxed local festival full of creativity and character. With its friendly atmosphere and artistic spirit, Millfest is always a pleasure to be part of.
St Cuthberts Street Festival
A vibrant street celebration championing Bedford’s independent businesses. Here, we often see families embracing more expressive, festival-inspired designs, making it one of our favourite local events.
These festivals reflect the creativity and warmth of Bedford, and they continue to shape the work we deliver throughout the area.
Face Painting at The Harpur Centre
Some of our most frequent bookings in Bedford take place at The Harpur Centre, where we help bring seasonal family events to life throughout the year.
These include:
-
Easter celebrations and workshops
-
Christmas light switch on events
-
Halloween activities
-
School holiday workshops
Each event gives us the opportunity to craft fun, seasonal designs that perfectly complement its atmosphere.
Bedford Park Summer Concerts
The Bedford Park concerts draw large crowds and create a lively outdoor atmosphere.
At these events, our team delivers festival-inspired designs that thrive in bustling settings while maintaining a polished, artistic finish. Quick, colourful creations help energise the audience, adding extra excitement as guests enjoy the music and summer vibes.
