The Biggleswade History Society attracted a lot of attention as they were looking to recruit their 100th member - by the end of the day they signed up their 101st.
"The event brought a different feel to the store with shoppers stopping to allow their children to make musical instruments and to sing," said the store's events co-ordinator Zoe Homfray-Cooper.
