Art Exhibition – Ian Murphy: The Light Within
2026-01-11 10:00 - 2026-02-13 16:00 (Europe/London) | The Heseltine Gallery, Chenderit School, Archery Road, Middleton Cheney, Banbury, OX172QR, United Kingdom
Artist Ian Murphy travels internationally with his sketchbook, capturing the essence of places he discovers – places that exude the qualities of neglect and abandonment – in a way that shows the ‘beauty in imperfections.’ His paintings not only embody the history of the site but also symbolise the importance of how people exist within their communities.
The presence of a hidden light source is an important ingredient which gently manipulates the audience into wanting to ‘walk in’ to the painting, trying to follow an enticing journey through to the inner courtyard or through a partially obscured passageway. This exhibition will show recent work from visits to Venice and Asia, which will be for sale.
Artist talk Sunday 11th January at 2pm. The exhibition is open Sundays to Fridays 10am to 4pm. Admission is free.

Northampton Museum and Art Gallery presents a solo exhibition of the stone carving of Nicolas Moreton to the public. The artist has been described as a modern master of the medium of stone carving and his works are collected worldwide. He has exhibited extensively at venues such as the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the Royal Academy and at Burghley House.
“His work is sensual, intimate and in many ways quite wondrous – a true labour of love. See it and you will be drawn into its magic like a magnet.”
The exhibition has two strands celebrating human life and the force of water.

Top Gs Like Me
2026-02-23 19:00 - 2026-03-07 23:00 | Royal & Derngate, Guildhall Road, Northampton, NN1 1DP, United Kingdom
A new comedy, set in Northampton, about growing up online.
Transforming the Derngate auditorium into a skatepark, this Made In Northampton production dives headfirst into the influence of online culture, the pull of toxic masculinity, and the search for identity in the digital age.
Aidan’s lost. His best mate’s starting uni, his mum can’t get out of bed, and his new side hustle has questionable legality. Meanwhile, he’s stacking shelves at the supermarket wondering if this is all he’s cut out for. He’s got hobbies – hanging out at the skatepark and doom scrolling his days away.
As he’s lapping up the algorithm ‘Hugo Bang’ appears with the promise to help Aidan become the alpha he was born to be.
Will Hugo Bang help Aidan get his life back on track, or will he lead Aidan to a darker, more dangerous place?
Directed by Jesse Jones, this brand-new play by local playwright Samson Hawkins (author of Stratford East’s critically acclaimed Village Idiot) crackles with dry humour and a modern-day wit.
Top Gs Like Me was developed with the support of the National Theatre’s Generate programme.

In Conversation with Paul Morley: Far Above the World: The Time and Space of David Bowie
2026-02-27 19:30 - 21:00 | Prince William School, Herne Road, Oundle, PE8EBS, United Kingdom
Renowned music biographer and journalist, Paul Morley joins us in conversation about his latest book – ‘Far Above the World: The Time and Space of David Bowie’ – a landmark exploration of David Bowie as an everlasting cultural force and changemaker.
In the ten years since the death of David Bowie in 2016 there has been no loss of interest in and fascination with his life, music and driven, complex personality. He is definitely one musician, one performer, destined not to be forgotten. The significant grief and sadness that greeted Bowie’s death has evolved into a deeper, enduring love for his music, style, wit, artistic curiosity, sexual energy, flamboyant outsider spirit and insatiable, provocative appetite for life.
Far Above the World documents one of the UK’s greatest creative artists, through the spectacularly colourful and vibrant journey of a man who constantly reinvented himself and his music. Bowie lived in the future, using the pop song to chronicle overwhelming and dangerous times, searching for the light, and creating a communication channel between post-war 20th century times and where(ever) we are now. This anniversary book will place him in the now and next, as much as is past, and argue that his songs, and his messages, reflections and warnings become ever more relevant and compelling as time passes.
The evening will feature an interview with Paul by Festival Curator, Karen Rust, an audience Q&A and a book signing afterwards. It’s part of the Oundle Festival of Literature.
Tickets are £12.50

Alpaca Walk at Hideaway Farm
2026-04-19 10:30 - 11:45 | Hideaway Wood Farm, A45 London Road, Dodford, NN74SR, United Kingdom
A unique opportunity to meet our walking boys up close before heading out on a beautiful walk with your own alpaca through our newly planted woodland with stunning views across the countryside.
Our boys love getting out of their paddock to meet new people, explore the land and find all the best forage and it’s good for us too. The benefits of spending time in nature are well known and combining that with a walk and getting to know and spend time with your own alpaca is a real boost for our wellbeing.

On arrival we’ll introduce you to our herd (each with their own unique personality!) and share some information about alpacas and how we take care of them.​ We’ll also share some health and safety guidance and tips on handling and leading respectfully.
We will then match you to the most suitable alpaca for you and after a brief introduction to your alpaca in terms of name, personality and particular quirks, we’ll be off!
We’ll take them on a walk around our 28 acres of land exploring tracks that meander through our newly planted woodlands and around the open wetlands.
We’ll then head down to The Hideout to wash our hands and use facilities before heading off.

Solo Exhibition by Artist Jack Watto
2026-06-06 21:00 - 2026-06-13 18:00 | Lumina Gallery, 9 George Row, Northampton, NN1 1DF
Solo Exhibition by artist Jack Watto in Lumina Gallery, George Row, Northampton.
Jack Watto is a Kettering-based contemporary painter and abstract expressionist whose work blends figurative roots with increasingly experimental, abstract forms. Originally from London, he trained at prestigious institutions including Camberwell School of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art, studying alongside influential figures such as Frank Auerbach and Howard Hodgkin.
His practice is primarily in oils, spanning portraiture, figurative work, and expressive abstraction. In recent years, his work has taken on a strong environmental focus—most notably in his Art for Planet Earth series, which uses bold, emotive imagery to confront climate change and ecological crisis.
Watto describes his approach as a form of activism, using painting as a way to “protest” and provoke thought, particularly among younger audiences. His work has been widely exhibited across Northamptonshire and beyond, and is held in private collections in the UK and internationally
