Events in Northampton From 30th March – 5th April 2026

You can find a mix of seasonal and community-focused activities across Northampton this week. At Whilton Mill, children take part in an Easter-themed trail with egg hunts along the canal path, featuring appearances by TV characters during scheduled afternoon slots. These events happen at established green spaces like Hunsbury Hill Park and Briar Hill Recreation Grounds, where families meet for guided play under clear signage marking safe areas.

Live music remains active at venues including The Lighthouse on High Street and the Northampton Theatre Company, which holds evening performances in its main auditorium. These events attract a steady but moderate crowd each day, with acoustic sets indoors when it’s cold and open-air gigs from 6pm on Sheep Street Green when weather allows.

Family activities are spread across key local hubs: Marefair hosts weekly play sessions near the central library entrance on Mondays; Sunday mornings feature storytelling for under-fives in the town centre’s public square. These events start at fixed times with clearly marked access routes, helping reduce pressure during peak parking hours.

Comedy shows are off-schedule this week but expected to return early April after a brief pause due to venue maintenance across multiple spaces including The Basement on St George's Street. This adjustment reflects how local programming evolves with seasonal needs while keeping regular events running for loyal attendees.
