Residents and communities across West Northamptonshire are invited to come together to celebrate the official grand opening of the revitalised Northampton Market Square this October, as West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) and Northampton Forward celebrate the transformation of this beloved community space ensuring it can be enjoyed by future generations to come.
Taking place across Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 October 2024, WNC will host a community celebration filled with a whole host of fun activities for all the family, including creative musical and cultural performances, historic and heritage exhibitions, and an array of amazing food and drink from a variety of local businesses and vendors. £35,000 of Government funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) has been allocated towards activities for the family weekend.
Market traders and local businesses will also be offering a wide range of fresh local produce, gifts, services, food, and drink during the weekend.
Drawing on Northampton’s rich history, the regenerated space complements the wider transformation of the town centre, featuring high-quality market stalls, improved seating and lighting, enhanced paving and an interactive water feature, creating a sustainable, accessible and inclusive space for everyone to enjoy. The scheme is being funded through the Government led Towns Fund, which is overseen by Northampton Forward; a public and private partnership made up of key organisations across the area.
