What's On



Although the Museum and Gallery doors are temporarily closed, you can still get involved with arts and history through our engaging and inclusive outreach programme.

Heritage and community remain important to us, and the Museum and Gallery team hope to see you soon at one of our many outreach events. Discover our collections through pop-up exhibitions, explore artefacts in new staff-led workshops, and join in the fun at family fun days and children’s activities at different locations around Northamptonshire.

Keep up to date with the latest news and events here and on our social media.
