The UK government announcing the humble town of Bedford as the location for Universal’s first European theme park, placing it alongside California and Singapore, probably wasn’t on your 2025 bingo card. With a projected £50 billion economic boost over 20 years and 28,000 jobs, it’s set to transform the local area and bolster the UK’s tourism appeal.
