Universal Studios Bedford · 2031

Europe’s first Universal park. Hardly anywhere to stay.

The resort opens near Bedford in 2031 with just one hotel to start. We’re a riverside meadow less than 9 miles* away, and the evening soundtrack is owls, not air-con.

Free shuttle to the gates, every day

Park free at the meadow. No resort parking fees, and nobody drives home after a twelve-hour day.

The river and the park

Slow water. Slow mornings.

Proper pubs, a stroll away

No restaurant on site, on purpose. The villages do it better.
