An exhibition of artworks from NMAG's collection celebrates the variety of genres, methods and media used by women artists, from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. Northampton Museum & Art Gallery Saturday 11 November - Sunday 12 April 2026 Throughout history, both men and women have created art, yet only a select few have been remembered within Western art history. Art by men was historically valued more highly than art by women, reflecting broader beliefs that only men could possess artistic or creative genius. Certain genres and mediums were also considered more prestigious, while work made in the domestic sphere was dismissed as craft or decoration rather than recognised as fine art. Women were barred from studying nude figures a crucial part of classical art training until the late 1800s. Second-wave feminism in the twentieth century, and wider social changes in the twenty-first, have challenged these hierarchies. Today, women are at the forefront of artistic production, with artists such as Tracey Emin, Maggi Hambling, Rachel Whiteread and Jasleen Kaur recognised as leading voices in contemporary art.

A TOUR OF CHURCHES IN NORTHERN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE by Paul Hayes The annual Ride and Stride day gives a great opportunity to explore many churches that are either disused or not normally open outside service times. A photographic exploration of the architectural, interesting or historic features found at many of the churches.

All are welcome, show off your ride.

50 years since punk and new wave kicked the door in, Punk Off storms the stage—louder, bolder, and messier than ever. After a riotous debut tour in 2025, this one-of-a-kind concert show returns with music from Blondie, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash and more. It’s raw. It’s rebellious. And it’s alive. This isn’t a tribute—it’s a riot. A full-throttle celebration of the era that tore up the rulebook and made being loud a lifestyle. With a fierce cast of musicians, singers and dancers, Punk Off throws you headfirst into the scenes, sound, and spirit of punk. Dancing is welcome during this performance! Please listen for announcements from the stage, stay considerate of those around you and for your safety ensure fire exits remain clear.

Tony Stockwell – Psychic Medium Remarkably compelling, amazingly detailed, and always humorous The popular star of TV’s Street Psychic, Psychic Private Eyes and Psychic Academy, Tony Stockwell has a long-established credibility as one of the top Intuitive Mediums. Tony demonstrates his belief that those who have passed can communicate with their loved ones with detailed messages frequently including names, dates, and locations and all delivered with emotion, sensitivity, and empathy. The evening may include psychometry, photograph readings and psychic prediction. Recent legislative guidelines insist that any Evening of Mediumship should be billed ‘for entertainment purposes’. Tony certainly uses his natural wit, showmanship, and Cockney charisma to entertain but more important, Mediumship has the potential to change someone’s life and instil in them a sense of peace, comfort, and purpose. We hope that nobody can fail to come away untouched by the experience.

An exhibition of artworks from NMAG's collection celebrates the variety of genres, methods and media used by women artists, from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. Northampton Museum & Art Gallery Saturday 11 November - Sunday 12 April 2026 Throughout history, both men and women have created art, yet only a select few have been remembered within Western art history.

Certain genres and mediums were also considered more prestigious, while work made in the domestic sphere was dismissed as craft or decoration rather than recognised as fine art. Women were barred from studying nude figures a crucial part of classical art training until the late 1800s. Second-wave feminism in the twentieth century, and wider social changes in the twenty-first, have challenged these hierarchies. Today, women are at the forefront of artistic production, with artists such as Tracey Emin, Maggi Hambling, Rachel Whiteread and Jasleen Kaur recognised as leading voices in contemporary art.
