The Bedlam BusQ

We’re taking our beloved Bedlam back to its roots in the company of some of Britain’s finest Buskers. We’re creating 2 new pitches just for this afternoon, in our old footprint between SawClose and Kingsmead Square; but please remember that some of the finest Buskers in the region will also be working up and down the central spine of the city from Southgate to Milsom Street via The Abbey, Pump Rooms & Kingston Parade. The traditional way of appreciating a Busker’s talent is wild applause and a note or coin in their hat, though nowadays there are also digital, computerised and mobile ways of doing this.
