The end of August is now upon us and we can now start to get excited for Autumn events taking place across Northamptonshire next month.
September will see a variety of festivals taking place including various food and drinks festivals celebrating local produce, the annual Northampton Music Festival and the huge Film & Food Fest taking place at The Racecourse.
Alternatively, if you fancy doing your bit for charity, you could help to raise money for hospices by cycling a 50 mile route in Northampton or don your UV paint and fancy dress to boogie around Boughton House for the annual Cransley Starlight Walk.
Take a look at what's on in September in Northamptonshire so you can plan ahead with fun for all the family:
