For one day only, the streets of Northampton will turn into a giant, escape-room-style experience on Saturday the 11th of March, 2023. Don’t be late! Solve clues which just get curiouser and curiouser, take on mad and mischievous challenges, and uncover a dark conspiracy at the heart of Wonderland.
This exhibition by John McGowan includes work from his entire art output, from an early piece of pure colour abstraction through to a print sequence about the Northampton Canal, a subject to which he has recently returned. The exhibition will explore and explain a variety of techniques and styles, particularly screen printing. Victorian signal boxes, warehouses and bridges also provide themes for his prints and paintings. Free entry
Fancy a game of D&D? Or maybe you would to try something a little different? Try our Gaming Club hosted at Northampton Central Library in our Young Adults Area. This event is suitable for people aged 14+
The event will focus on the artist’s enquiry around our individual and collective experiences being mediated through different spaces, how virtual and actual spaces are realised through our bodies, and in relation to our emotions, memory and identities. Erica works across text, video and performance and the event will include a presentation of audio-visual material of the artist’s work.
Time To Share is the perfect activity for children of all ages and their grown ups! Each month we will focus on a new theme and each week we will focus on a new book. There will be a mixture of fiction and non-fiction books with matching crafts or activities! This is a free drop in event.
“The game’s afoot: follow your spirit, and upon this charge cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’” God save the king? Civil unrest, trouble with Europe, and the death of our monarch… it’s not 2022 but the late fifteenth century, and a young, newly crowned king is eager to assert his control of the United Kingdom in Shakespeare’s (in)famous Henry V. When a humiliating message arrives from overseas, a bruised ego leads Henry to double down on a military invasion, at a devastating cost. Join us as we explore Henry V’s bombastic pursuit of power, and what it means to be English. A production by Royal & Derngate, Northampton, Shakespeare’s Globe and Headlong with Leeds Playhouse, directed by Headlong’s Artistic Director Holly Race Roughan (Corrina, Corrina, Liverpool Everyman; Metamorphoses, Shakespeare’s Globe) Content guidance: This production contains graphic violence, coercive behaviour, sexual assault and strong language; including descriptions of infanticide and sexual violence.
