SUMMARY:From the Collection: Drawings
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of drawings from the Northampton Museums & Art Gallery collection. \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Join the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) for an epic orchestral afternoon at the Royal & Derngate with internationally acclaimed violinist Clara-Jumi Kang. \n\nPlease note that this programme has changed from earlier published versions. Please note the change of conductor for this concert. \nBen Glassberg Conductor \nClara-Jumi Kang Violin \nRoyal Philharmonic Orchestra \n\nHisaishi Encounter for String Orchestra \nSibelius Violin Concerto \nBeethoven Symphony No.5 \n\nThe first five bars of Beethoven’s iconic Fifth Symphony\, possibly the most famous opening motif in classical music history\, portend something mysterious and momentous. Filled with turmoil and beauty\, this orchestral masterwork will leave you awestruck long after its triumphant finale. \nBut that’s not all: the evening opens with a delightful new miniature from the RPO’s Composer-in-Association Joe Hisaishi (Spirited Away)\, and Clara-Jumi Kang brings her world-class insight to Sibelius’ brooding yet passionate Violin Concerto. Bringing together folk and classical styles\, this timeless piece gives both soloist and orchestra a chance to shine\, from its expressive and passionate beginning through to its spirited\, dance-like final movement. \n‘A vibrantly intense performance… direct yet sensitive and her technique throughout was marvellously secure and commanding… The powerhouse articulation and accuracy in the finale was phenomenal.’ – Limelight on Clara- Jumi Kang playing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto\, November 2024

SUMMARY:Nathan Caton & Hasan Al-Habib: Work In Progress
DESCRIPTION:Live Stand Up Comedy at The LAB. As part of the Northampton Comedy Festival 2026 in association with Northampton BID. \nDoors 7pm – Show 8pm \n \nNathan Caton: Work In Progress\nNathan Caton is bringing a brand-new work-in-progress show to the stage\, offering a first look at fresh material from one of the most reliable and charismatic voices on the UK circuit. \nKnown for his seamless blend of personal storytelling and sharp political commentary\, Nathan has established himself as a household name with appearances on Live at the Apollo\, Mock the Week\, and The News Quiz. This performance finds him in an intimate setting\, stripping back the polish to test out new ideas\, observations\, and anecdotes. It is a unique opportunity to see a master craftsman at work\, navigating the trial-and-error process of building a new hour of stand-up. \nExpect the same high-energy delivery and razor-sharp wit that have made him a multi-award-winning comedian\, now with the added spontaneity of a show still in development. \n \nHasan Al-Habib: Stuck in the Middle (East) With You\nExtended sold-out run\, Edinburgh Fringe 2025. Funniest Jokes of Edinburgh Fringe (Telegraph\, Times 2025). NextUp Biggest Award in Comedy: nominee 2025. ‘Deliciously funny’ (Guardian) Hasan Al-Habib is back with a brand-new stand-up hour. His agent told him it needs to be more relatable for white British people\, so it’s all about growing up as a child of divorce. ‘There’s material for Live at the Apollo’ **** (Scotsman). ‘Seamless callbacks\, crowd-winning call and responses\, and impeccable timing’ **** (Skinny).

SUMMARY:From the Collection: Drawings
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of drawings from the Northampton Museums & Art Gallery collection. \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Rose Finn Kelcey: House Rules
DESCRIPTION:Arts Collective launches its new gallery programme with an exhibition revisiting the pioneering work of British conceptual artist Rose Finn-Kelcey\, curated by Emer Grant. This marks the first presentation of the artist’s work in her hometown of Northampton. \nFeaturing photographic\, installation and video works loaned from national collections and archives\, the exhibition recontextualises Finn-Kelcey’s groundbreaking practice through architectural space and coded forms. It considers how formal systems and power structures shape experience through architecture\, language\, ritual and atmosphere. \nExhibited publicly for the first time since its original installation\, Bar Doors (1991) captures architectural thresholds\, foregrounding moments of passage between spaces. The photographic documentation of Finn-Kelcey’s site-specific installation—seven saloon-style doors installed in a Houston city park—invites viewers to reconsider familiar architectural features as markers of access and permission. \nThe exhibition also explores Finn-Kelcey’s fascination with spirituality and its connections to the commercial and domestic structures of contemporary life\, featuring works such as It Pays to Pray (1990)\, God Kennel – A Tabernacle (1992) and Jolly God (1997). Her iconic flag works are also presented\, including documentation of Power for the People (1972)\, in which a collective political declaration was placed directly onto the monumental architecture of Battersea Power Station while it remained operational. \nThroughout the exhibition\, architecture\, movement and attention shape how the works are encountered. Finn-Kelcey’s work offers a lens through which to experience 24 Guildhall Road as an active structure—shaped by play\, language and collective imagination. \n\n\n\n\nImage Credit: Rose Finn-Kelcey Bar Doors (Photograph of installation) 1991 \nWood\, Houston International Festival\, Buffalo Bayou Park\, Houston\, Texas.
