From Chawton': A Jane Austen performance by Beckis Cooper at Lamport Hall
2026-04-25 19:00 - 2026-05-25 21:00 (Europe/London) | Lamport Hall, Lamport, Northamptonshire, NN6 9EZ, United Kingdom
Performing at Lamport Hall on 25th April:
Jane Austen’s characters would like to spend an evening with you.

From Chawton …

Jane Austen has a problem. She has relocated to Chawton to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside but her lively cast of characters are causing her a lot of bother.
Come and join Mrs Elton, Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse
and many more as they seek to entertain you and fight for their
right to be heard in Jane’s novels.

‘My characters all appear to be very demanding and most difficult indeed.’

Written & Performed by Beckis Cooper

Interior DesignWorkshop

Learn how to design striking, artistic looks using professional techniques and products.

This workshop gives you the full experience of working as an interior designer. You’ll explore layout, colour, texture, and lighting, learning how to transform spaces from ordinary to exceptional. You’ll also develop an understanding of design principles, mood boards, and material selection to bring harmony and purpose to every environment you create.
After a short introduction to the fundamentals of interior design, it’s completely hands-on. From the moment you begin, you’ll experiment with floor plans, palettes, and design styles, seeing how subtle choices can redefine a space. Working alongside other participants, you’ll share ideas, sketch concepts, and refine your creative eye through guided feedback. By the end, you’ll have designed your own professional interior concept, ready to showcase as part of your creative portfolio.

Six at The Royal & Derngate
2026-05-12 19:00 - 2026-05-16 19:00 | Royal & Derngate, Guildhall Road, Northampton, NN1 1DP, United Kingdom
DIVORCED ★ BEHEADED ★ LIVE!
The crowning glory of Broadway, the West End and beyond, the international smash hit musical SIX makes its royal return to Northampton following its previous sell out success!
Winner of over 35 international awards including the Tony Award for ‘Best Original Score’ and ‘Best Costume Design’, double winner of the Whatsonstage Award for ‘Best West End Show’ and a Gold-Disk winning album, this sell-out Tudor take-off has ‘an incredibly strong and powerful message’ (The Australian) and is ‘pure entertainment’ (New York Times).
From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII take to the mic to tell their tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power. These Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red.
Think you know the rhyme, think again…
Divorced. Beheaded. LIVE!
