On Saturday, October 1, 2022, Kempston Town Councillors joined in the all-day celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Mulberry Bush.
The Mayor of Kempston, Sam Blacklaws; Cllrs Carl Meader and Shaun Bowman eventually managed to get to the bar of the packed Orchard Street pub to add their weight to the occasion.
Children enjoyed fun and games throughout the day with live music for the adults in the evening.
Cllr Carl Meader, who lives close by, claims: “He remembers the pub opening in 1972, but he had to wait a few years before enjoying a pint in the pub!”
Carl continued: “It’s always been a community pub and well supported by the locals. In these difficult times when hundreds of pubs are closing, it’s great to see The Mulberry Bush in full swing and local residents coming out in their numbers to celebrate such a milestone in the pub’s history. Long may it continue!”
