Northampton Town and County Art Society Annual Exhibition

Oak Apple Day

town centre

An ancient ceremony of thanksgiving will take place at All Saints' Church on Monday, 29 May to commemorate Northampton's Oak Apple Day. The event celebrates the generosity of King Charles II who donated over 1,000 tons of timber to reconstruct All Saints Church and halved the town's taxes for seven years following the Great Fire of Northampton. The ceremony begins with a thanks giving service at All Saints' Church and military parade followed by The Mayor of Northampton placing a wreath of oak leaves on the statue of Charles II, which stands on the church's portico.

Ruby Wax: I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was

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

After a complete sell-out first run in 2023, Ruby Wax‘s rawest, darkest, funniest and most compelling stage show yet announces brand new dates for 2024, thanks to enormous demand. “The original idea behind this show was based on the extreme journeys that I wanted to take in order to find an antidote to living a frazzled life. Along the way I wanted to find meaning, peace, happiness – the stuff we’re all chasing. However, after some transcendent experiences, I ended up in a mental institution. Obviously, I didn’t find what I was looking for.” I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was is Ruby’s first tour show in four years following her critically acclaimed, sell-out tour, How To Be Human.
