The hotel and restaurant was built in 1872 on the site of what is now 9 Guildhall Road. It was built to capitalise on new rail passengers arriving in Northampton at St John’s Street station, then located at the bottom of Guildhall Road. Come and have a look at some of the artefacts we have uncovered!
Come and visit the town’s re-born art deco entertainment venue. A hidden gem, the Old Savoy is host to a wide variety of shows, the Christmas pantomime, and many training events. Over recent years the theatre has thoroughly re-established itself and continues to grow from strength to strength.
Pop into this historic gem in the town centre and enjoy a guided tour of parts of the building not always open to the public. There will be history re-enactments, bringing to life the heritage of Northampton’s rich and varied history. The Moulton Morris Men will be performing and there will also be a chance to meet Northampton’s Mayor, Councillor Stephen Hibbert.
‘Spooktacular’ new augmented reality trail coming to Northampton town centre from Friday 20th October – Friday 3rd November.
People across Northampton are invited down to Northampton’s Market at Commercial Street to join in free ice-skating and curling this Christmas. Taking place on 9 and 10 December and 16 to 22 December between 10am and 4pm, people are advised to put on their skates and join in the festive fun. Northampton BID has kindly sponsored this year's curling lane event. West Northamptonshire Council is working with market traders to deliver a free events programme to offer something for everyone. Following the summer of fun throughout the summer holidays, we’re pleased to extend this throughout December. All skates and equipment are provided free of charge. To help support with access to the market’s temporary location at Commercial Street, WNC is working with Bounds to offer free journeys for the bus station to the market. Simply press a button at either location and a free taxi will be called to take you to or from the market. To find out more about the local produce, gifts and services on offer at the Northampton Market, visit Love Northampton Market on Facebook.
