With late night shopping starting Northampton are offering free parking after 3pm, so save those extra pennies for a warm hot chocolate or mulled wine.
With a Victorian inspired Christmas market taking place in Market walk, there really is something for everyone. Santa will also be in his grotto, waiting for the children to visit and tell him what they want for Christmas.
