A fantastic day out enjoying the Hawk and Owl encounter. A beautiful place in a fantastic location and an unforgettable experience with friendly knowledgeable staff Jo and Emily getting to meet lots of beautiful birds of prey and getting to fly 5 different kinds of them. The centre also does lots of well needed conservation work with wild birds of prey too. Would highly recommend and am definitely planning a return visit.

Phipps NBC - The Albion Brewery

Welcome to the Albion Brewery Bar, the most unusual new bar and venue in town. We are open from 12 everyday for fine ales, cider, lager, wines & spirits including Kingswell Gin distilled in the brewery. Our 8 hand pumps of cask ale feature Phipps, Hoggleys and a revolving guest ale. We have added an oak and glass partition between the bar and brewery so customers can view the brewing process as they drink and eat. Each day will bring a cabaret of mashing, sparging, racking and cleaning as Phipps staff go about their business of creating our beers. Almost all the bar's fittings are reclaimed with many coming from old closed Phipps pubs. Over the foyer there are new toilets including Disabled. We have kept the space true to its origins as a working brewhouse so you can drink ale with the smallest carbon footprint in the county but the biggest taste and the longest history. Hot food is available Wednesday to Sunday afternoon. There will be gigs and events as advertised.

Great stories unfold on this tour. I had been in the Pub as a customer before but did not realise that I had been actually walking on Northampton brewing history. If you like finding out about History and not just of brewing but of Northampton Town this is for you. Alaric one of the Directors did the tour and his passion and his enthusiasm simply shines out - from the beer that saved us in the second world war via Phipps claret colour and looking into a real King's well. I had to dash off after the tour but will return to try Stingo and Ratliffes stout.

I have been involved in archery since the of age eleven; I am now sixty one. I recently attended a two hour session at the indoor archery range and found it to be everything needed both for the beginner archer as well the experienced archer. The facilities are first rate and safe. The archery coach was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and a good instructor. Whilst I was there I witnessed a lesson with two novices and within no time at all they were claiming centre bulls eyes. Highly recommended and very reasoably priced.

78 Derngate

78 Derngate is the only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It is now a multi award-winning visitor attraction offering an unforgettable day out in Northampton. Designed and remodelled by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1916, the house has been meticulously restored and opened to the public. On site: a boutique restaurant, light-filled art galleries, a stylish design shop and elegant spaces that can be hired for meetings, events and functions. 78 Derngate was the architect's final major commission; his visionary patron, Northampton model engineer, W.J Bassett-Lowke. It is the only place in the world where Mackintosh's mature architectural and interior style can be seen in their original setting. As such, the house has drawn many thousands of visitors from around the globe. Now you can follow in their footsteps and see this unique work from one of Britain's most influential and celebrated designers. Please note: To post a review for The Dining Room Restaurant ( a separate business ) you should search for their separate TripAdvisor page. Thankyou!

We decided to visit 78 Derngate during our visit to the area and was not disappointed. The only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh has a fascinating history which is brought to life on guided tours by knowledgeable and passionate guides. Following the tour we enjoyed coffee and cake in the tea room (afternoon tea is also available - with or without a tour). Delightful visit - highly recommended!

We went here after seeing it advertised on fb, great day out and all for the cost of parking, which is cash only but you can pay at the counter in the gift shop by card before 5pm. (£5.60) We took a picnic, enjoyed a walk with a stop at the assault course which the kids loved then a stroll back to the park which includes a water area so pack towels and costumes as I didn’t know about this area so the kids went in their underwear. After lunch went for another stroll and came across another assortment of activities that the kids enjoyed they was tired at the end of the day but a brilliant day out. Their is a cafe on site if you wish to eat their or enjoy a coffee outside on the decking over the lake. Great for all ages, will defo be visiting again!
