Rooted in the county’s proud shoemaking heritage and inspired by St Crispin’s Day, Northamptonshire Day has grown into a vibrant celebration of everything that makes our county unique.

This year, Northamptonshire Day will be marked with a dedicated event in Northampton Market Square. The event will bring together residents, visitors, and local organisations to showcase the very best of Northamptonshire - from craftsmanship and innovation to local pride and community spirit.

Join us!

Get ready for a full day of celebrating the people, places, and businesses that make Northamptonshire a fantastic place to live, work, visit and invest!
