Northampton Museum and Art Gallery Concerts 2025

Free entrance I was amazed by this shoe museum here in Northampton, where I saw a very varied range of shoes, from ancient times to the present, even projected videos about this craft. My children were very delighted by a display in which they could make a shoe design alone. Worth a visit

The museum and art gallery were awesome, but the art gallery was under maintenance when I was there. The museum is ticket-free, so all of them can go there and spend some time in the museum. In the museum, they are showing different styles of shoes from 5620 to 2024. Northamptonshire remains the shoe-making capital of the world. They have so many amazing international footwear manufacturers—there's nowhere else that can claim they produced the boots for Darth Vader and shoes for James Bond and Prince Charles.

Perfect for a rainy day and even better it’s free! Took with us our 11 year old and 15 year old girls. It’s nice to go to a museum that’s a little different with the shoes exhibitions. We were in there roughly 1.5 hours or so, but you could spend a lot longer if you actually read more of the commentary! Nice to have to the cloakroom and as expected free toilets on site too. We parked at St John’s multi-storey car park which is 3-5 min walk away. The shops are also just a short walk further into town so we did them on the same day.

Company M were fantastic, very emotional event and goosebumps on several tracks (Adele). Nice touch telling us all about her history and which album each track was from. Very intimate setting but very very warm due to all of the candles! Dress light and take a manual fan!
