We're so excited to introduce "This is Bedale" ✨

For many years, bedale.org, Bedale Official /Bedale Official on Instagram and Facebook have been run by local volunteers, sharing news, events, business updates and useful information for people living, working and visiting Bedale and the surrounding towns and villages.

Because these platforms were created at different times, they've never really had a consistent identity. Our new logo brings everything together, making it easier to recognise that it's all part of the same community project.

While Bedale is at the heart of what we do, we're proud to celebrate and support the wider area too. From Killerby to East Tanfield, Allerthorpe to Rookwith, we're connecting our communities to showcase everything our part of North Yorkshire has to offer.

But this is about much more than a new logo. It's the start of an exciting new chapter, with some new projects coming up to promote our area, support local businesses and make it even easier to stay connected with what's happening across Bedale and the surrounding villages.

We'll be sharing more over the next few days, so keep an eye out…

Thank you to everyone who's supported us over the years, we can't wait to show you what's coming next! ❤️
