BrickLive Animal Paradise Trail
Some of the most endangered animals in the world will be on show in Northampton this Easter as the town centre hosts an amazing trail of sculptures made entirely from toy bricks. The Animal Paradise trail, presented and built by BRICKLIVE, has been commissioned by Northampton Town Centre Business Improvement District (BID) and will feature 15 models of creatures including snow leopards, tigers, penguins and orangutans. Families can get involved in the trail, which runs from April 1-16 by downloading the LoyalFree app onto their smartphone and scanning QR codes at each host venue to find out more about the model creature on display in the window. All those who complete the trail via the app will be entered into a prize draw to win one of two £100 vouchers.

From Northampton for all
From Northampton for all
Master cordwainer, shoe historian, and calceologist (shoe archaeologist) Brett Walker will introduce the topic of Northampton's renowned shoemaking industry during Britain's proto-industrial ascendancy in the global market, during an era when superlative-quality handmade shoes were still accepted as commonplace. Drawing on over 23 years’ experience as a traditionally educated boot- and shoemaker and professional historian, Mr. Walker presents an engaging look at what was one of the most common skilled trades in Great Britain. Highlights will include examples of shoes within the collection of the Northampton Museum and Art Gallery, and previously unpublished information on contemporary calceology discoveries.

Steve Barratt from Liverpool University. The science fact and science fiction of black holes. Hoe are they formed, what are their properties and how can we observe them? what about tv and the movies? does Hollywood ever get it right?

Northampton Gilbert & Sullivan Group – Ruddygore
Northampton Gilbert & Sullivan Group – Ruddygore
Northampton Gilbert & Sullivan Group are thrilled to return to Royal & Derngate with their 69th Anniversary production, Ruddygore. Ruddygore is Gilbert & Sullivan’s well-loved satirical take on Victorian Melodrama, with a plot that has everything; ghosts, witches, curses, disguises, a wicked villain who tries to make off with the fair maiden, and of course love. Ruddygore follows the spooky goings-on in a peaceful Cornish fishing village, a painfully shy farmer, Robin Oakapple, trying to work up the courage to ask the beautiful Rose Maybud for her hand, a family secret that has the potential to change everything, and an ancient picture gallery brought to life to haunt its owner, much to the annoyance of the ancestral ghosts! Under the direction of Leon Berger and musical direction of David Chambers, join us as ‘the night wind howls’ to cheer the hero, weep with the heroine and boo the villain as we head to the peaceful village of Rederring, and Gilbert & Sullivan’s supernatural opera Ruddygore, presented in its original version.

A Evening with Geoff Hurst
A Evening with Geoff Hurst

He was Player of the Year three times and won the FA Cup with West Ham in 1964 and the European Cup Winners Cup in 1965.

Having amassed a loyal fan base of over a quarter of a million followers the multi-viral, social media sensation is delving even deeper into his ludicrous life as he tries to smarten up the not so honourable aspects of himself. Take a look at the pitfalls of online celebrity, the perils of post-palace living and find out, that in an age where everyone is so obsessed with the veneer of virtual contentment, maybe it takes crashing back down to reality to discover where happiness truly lies.
