Northampton Market Square to reopen
A weekend of activity is planned for October
Residents and communities across West Northamptonshire are invited to come together to celebrate the official grand opening of the revitalised Northampton Market Square.
Taking place across Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 October 2024, West Northants Council 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. £30,000 of Government funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund 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 two days.
Cllr Daniel Lister, Cabinet Member for Local Economy, Culture and Leisure, tells us:
"Northampton is home to one of Europe’s longest running outdoor market, and we are excited to invite residents and communities from across West Northamptonshire to join us for the grand opening of the reimagined Northampton Market Square to celebrate the rich history of the site and see first-hand the revitalised space.
“We have planned a weekend full of exciting activities, performances, and local flavours, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy. Come and be part of this unmissable celebration and witness the beginning of a new chapter for our vibrant community."
