Bidford Bridge, Bidford on Avon

The Vic Minett Show will come live from Bidford Bridge as part of BBC Music Day, featuring local talent and BBC Introducing bands throughout the morning.

Bidford’s ancient stone bridge over the River Avon was closed for much of last summer after a tractor knocked part of the wall down. It left some villagers cut off and others facing lengthy diversions. The bridge has since been repaired.
