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.
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.
Punk took the world by storm, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire and provoke people today. The young people of Northamptonshire were as inspired by punk as the rest of the country - they formed bands, set up music and clothing stores and managed punk nights. This major exhibition follows the Punk: Rage & Revolution exhibition at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery and explores fashion, music, the local gig scene and much more.

Sessions to introduce rhymes and songs to your child to encourage interaction and develop communication skills. Please note that the Bounce and Rhyme sessions will be run on a first-come, first-serve basis on the day and it will not be possible to book in advance. This event is running at a reduced capacity to ensure the health and safety of all staff and customers. Parents and Carers can collect a ticket from the front desk on the Friday morning at 10am. This event is for under 1s and non-walkers only.
We aim to bring people together to read, share stories and have fun. We use reading – whether books, magazines, newspapers, or anything else – to start everyone chatting. Our Reading Friends group meets on the 3rd Wednesday every month at Northampton Central Library to talk about reading and anything else that interests them. You don’t have to read anything before the session and everyone is welcome so come along, meet new people and share stories together. No booking is required and you don’t have to be a library member to take part.
Jazz & Blues has become a firm favourite mid-week treat for local music lovers. We have been lucky enough to welcome a whole host of talented musicians to the Bradlaugh stage as part of our Jazz & Blues night, including the Ginger Pig Band and rising star Beau Holland (not long returned from a tour supporting Bastille in The States!) Come down and enjoy authentic sounds, friendly faces and a warm atmosphere. Every Wednesday from 8.30pm. Free Entry.
