SUMMARY:Sophie McCartney
DESCRIPTION:After last year’s phenomenal 70 date international tour\, award-winning comedian and number one bestselling author Sophie McCartney is back with a brand-new show! \nRecently kicked out of club 18-30\, a new decade now beckons and she DOES NOT BELIEVE IT. Tackling her perimenopausal panic with denial\, delirium\, and a shot of tequila – what does life look like when you’re too old to be young\, but too young to be old? Desperate for a mad night out (as long as she’s home by 9pm)\, this mum of three\, and optimistic raver\, is by no means down and out – she’s up and in… watching Netflix. \nGrab your glow sticks and join Sophie as she embarks on life’s next big chapter with sequins\, snorty laughs\, and a pair of killer orthopaedic heels. \nPre-Show Meet and Greet tickets are available\, which includes a Meet and Greet with Sophie\, a photo opportunity and premium seating.

SUMMARY:Heritage Open Days Tour
DESCRIPTION:Heritage Open Days Tour\n\nWill be held on Saturday 13th September & Wednesday 17th September 2025\nFirst tour at 10:00 am\, last tour at 3:00 pm\n\nThis is a free event \n\nThe Old Savoy and The  Deco Theatre are now one of Northampton’s premier venues available for hire for theatrical productions\, conferences\, meetings\, wedding receptions\, parties and other social or corporate events\, and although it certainly didn’t start that way when it was first built\, it has always been a home of family entertainment.\n\nThe building first opened on Saturday 2 May 1936 in a blaze of publicity as “the Savoy”\, described as “Northampton’s only super Cinema” and reported to be “the last word in comfort”. It was part of the ABC group\, designed by their prolific house architect WR Glen and built in under nine months on the site of the original Technical College. It was constructed in the International Modernistic style and is arguably the best remaining example of Glen’s work\, with all the main features still in place and sympathetically renovated.\n\nThe Savoy was very popular and originally held almost 2000 people in the 696 seat circle and 1200 seat stalls. It was designed both as a cinema and theatre complete with orchestra pit. It hosted shows and concerts as well as films.\n\nIn the 1950s it was renamed the ‘ABC’ in line with the group’s national branding policy and was the local venue of choice for the touring bands of the ’60s\, including the Beatles in both March and November 1963\, the Rolling Stones in 1965 and infamously PJ Proby in 1965\, when he was arrested for splitting his trousers on stage!\n\nA number of the ’60s bands have returned to play The Deco Theatre in recent years\, including the Hollies\, the Searchers and Billy J Kramer.\n\nIn 1974\, it was converted to a three-screen complex by using the rear of the stalls with a dividing wall for the 2 smaller screens and leaving the main auditorium circle as the main ‘ABC 1’.\n\nBy the mid-’90s\, however\, the ABC now renamed Cannon cinema was unable to compete with the modern multi-screen complexes and it finally closed its doors in 1995 with the appropriately named “Terminal Velocity”.\n\nThe building was derelict for five years until 2000 when it was converted to a multi-purpose venue opening in October 2004.

SUMMARY:Alan Davies
DESCRIPTION:He thinks he’s Marty McFly but he’s older than Doc Brown. He spends more time in the pharmacy than the gym. Subject to relentless eye rolls from his kids. What is he? A late middle-aged stand up on tour for the first time in a decade. Funnier than ever\, he says. \nAlan Davies is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian\, actor\, writer\, and TV personality. He is a staple of British television\, known for his performance as the eponymous hero of David Renwick’s hugely popular\, long-running TV series Jonathan Creek\, and as a permanent panelist on QI. His talk show\, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled\, recently reached its seventh season. He is also one of the UK’s best-loved comedians. His stand-up show Urban Trauma ran in London’s West End and Life is Pain and Little Victories sold out in venues across the UK. His second memoir\, Just Ignore Him was published in 2020 and the third instalment will be published later this year.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Kevin Sinfield
DESCRIPTION:On Friday 26th September 2025 at The Old Savoy\, we are delighted to be able to bring you an event and give you the opportunity of spending time with a very special person. You will hear all about the life of an achiever who has given himself a reason to go on and do superhuman things\, superhuman things that now seem normal to him. Kevin Sinfield\, one of the most successful players in rugby league history. \nHaving won many championships and Challenge Cup successes as part of great teams\, he also earned individual accolades as winner of the Lance Todd Trophy the Harry Sunderland Trophy and he is one of only five British players to ever win the coveted Golden Boot as well as receiving an MBE: 2014 (services to rugby league football) OBE: 2021 (services to rugby league football and charitable fundraising) CBE: 2024 (services to motor neurone disease awareness) But it is the understated way in which he does them\, the amazing mindset and humbleness in which he carries them out. He has a reason and that’s what keeps him going. Northampton we have the pleasure of hearing all about it. \nOf course\, we cannot give you any story of Kevin without mentioning friendships and one friendship in particular with Rob Burrow. They have been friends since they were 14 and 12 respectively and went on to sit next to each other every day in the dressing room throughout 15 years of rugby at the very heart of one of rugby league’s great teams. Their friendship and camaraderie extended beyond the field\, and their bond grew stronger over the years. From shared victories to facing life’s challenges. A night of Inspiration\, motivation and leadership.  An event that receives rave reviews everywhere it goes. \nVIP PACKAGE INCLUDES A SIGNED COPY OF THE EXTRA MILE BOOK AND A PERSONAL PRINTED PICTURE OF YOURSELF AND KEVIN.

SUMMARY:An Evening of Francis Rossi’s Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and More…
DESCRIPTION:Francis Rossi is coming to Northampton as part of his brand new show. This show will feature songs that he has never played before in this format and offer first hand backstage tales about appearing over 100 times on Top Of The Pops\, why they went on first at Live Aid\, life with Rick Parfitt\, the hits\, fellow stars\, and misadventures across the world\, all cut through with Francis’ wit and humour. \nA strictly limited amount of VIP tickets will be available at each show\, and will include: a pre-show Meet & Greet with Francis\, personal photo opportunity (please bring your own phone/camera for this)\, signing opportunity for one of your own items\, one of the best seats in the house for the show\, and an exclusive tour merchandise item. \nFrancis will perform many of his signature hits that made the Quo name\, plus some personal favourites and deeper cuts\, and he’ll be telling more stories about his incredible life in music. Think you know Francis? Not yet you don’t…  The story starts with Pictures of Matchstick Men but continues right up to the present day. Francis will mostly be playing his Acoustasonic guitar which\, as he says\, “is basically a Telecaster but is more compatible with a show of this nature – it still has the ring and sound of a Tele”.
