Description Let’s go to the park – why greenspaces are important for Northampton’s residents. Thursday 18th September 2025, 5.00 – 6.30pm The Beehive Harborough Rd, Northampton NN2 8LR September’s Café Scientifique is presented by Dr Declan Ryan, Associate Professor in Physical Activity and Health at The University of Northampton https://www.northampton.ac.uk/research/research-institutes-and-centres/centre-for-health-sciences-and-services-chss/ Detailed Description This talk will examine Declan’s work with Northampton’s Active Quarter and the partnership of local people and organisations. Our parks have seen a decline in public funding over the past decade even though they are a vital place to support our local communities. To promote Northampton’s Parks, Northampton’s Active Quarter was formed as a partnership to make our greenspaces easier and more enjoyable to use. Collectively, the partnership has secured over £1,000,000 of funding for our local parks. Declan, from the University of Northampton, will talk about the partnership and how they are working with residents to make sure parks have a prominent role in peoples’ lives for years to come.

Breaking The Code

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

“It’s not breaking a code that matters, it’s where you go from there” Mastermind. Code breaker. Maverick. Arguably one of the most important and inquisitive minds of the twentieth century.  Alan Turing is famed for cracking the Enigma code at Bletchley Park, effectively securing victory for the Allied forces in WWII. From triumph to tragedy, get to know a human being who loved, lost and never stopped asking questions in a quest for truth and understanding in this new production of Hugh Whitemore’s Breaking The Code. For the first time, taking into consideration his recent Royal pardon and the development of Turing’s law, the original play will feature a new epilogue by Neil Bartlett that speaks to Turing’s lasting legacy on modern Britain. Stay after the audio described performance on Wed 24 September for an exclusive Post-Show Q&A with director Jesse Jones and the cast of Breaking The Code. Dive deeper into the story, the production, and the creative process in this engaging discussion, which will be audio described for accessibility.
