We're challenging families to complete a trail of town centre businesses and track down eight space-themed installations to complement the Pop-Up Planetarium in the Market Square. Launching this weekend, the immersive 360-degree experience is expected to bring in thousands of children over the next month, discovering more about our solar system and the universe beyond. Sitting alongside the Planetarium GO UK experience will be a digital trail featuring eight space-themed installations housed in eight separate locations. The activity will see participants encouraged to complete the trail by answering a question at each location on their phone, with all those visiting all eight locations entered into a prize draw for the chance to win one of two £50 vouchers to spend in Northampton town centre. Trail locations include Grosvenor Shopping Northampton, Sol Northampton, Northamptonshire Central Library, Northampton Museum & Art Gallery, Butterwicks, Skipton Building Society and Northampton Market Square.

An exhibition of drawings from the Northampton Museums & Art Gallery collection. This exhibition explores drawing as a fundamental artistic language, presenting preparatory sketches and finished works that reveal how ideas take shape on paper. Through the delicate studies of Henry Moore, the atmospheric sketches of Walter Sickert, the imaginative designs of Sir Edward Burne Jones, and the expressive drawings of Clare Abbatt, amongst others, visitors are invited to consider drawing not merely as a preliminary step but as an art form in its own right. The works on display highlight how artists across different periods and practices use line, tone, and observation to experiment, problem solve, and refine their vision. Together, they celebrate drawing’s enduring role as a tool for exploration, invention, and creative thinking.
This Exhibition explores the similarities between fine art and comics and how they are produced. It will explain the process of how comics are created and examine the common elements from fine art; the drawing, the painting and the poetry. It will also exhibit a story of epic proportions without superheroes, just ordinary people.
A cavalcade of hits from 1960 to 2019. The 350 performers are split into two groups, with half making up a big choir and the other half telling their story through dance and acting. In the interval, they swap over so all the performers sing, dance and act. Each decade has its own stories, objects, pictures, films, fashion and of course music. As the evening continues, each decade fits into the next. It’s like seeing your life flash before you as you make connections with the past, greet songs as old friends and relive memories.
