Northampton may be recognised as a typical British town, there’s a standard town centre, football, cricket and rugby stadiums; and plenty of fast food around, but there are plenty of things to see and do if you’re spending a weekend in Northampton and we’re going to help you chose a few.
If you’re looking for a fun night out we recommend heading over to Sixfields. Here you will find a cinema, plenty of restaurants and 10 pin bowling. There’s enough to keep you entertained for an entire evening, so after spending a day around the shops, and evening in Sixfields could be just the ticket.
Northampton may be known for its compact housing with tricky little roads and shoe factories, but there is plenty of countryside and parks too. There’s the race course, Abington Park and many other, and if it’s a warm day you can enjoy a picnic and it’s a great area if you have children or your fancy walking your dog.
If you want to head out of Northampton slightly to access more amenities and shops then Milton Keynes is the next best option. There’s a huge shopping centre with plenty of parking, and it can be less than a 30 minute drive away.
