Kempston Hardwick is the proposed location of Universals newest theme park, which would be their first in Europe. Universal have purchased 480 acres on the west side of the hamlet, on the site of the old Kempston Hardwick brickworks, and neighbouring fields between Interchange Retail Park and Stewartby Village. There has been much confusion on whether they brought the Stewartby Brickworks, with Councillors and MPs mis-announcing this, but this is incorrect.
