Eleven Northamptonshire events and grand openings to look forward to in 2021

From comedy shows, to a brand new museum, there is something for everyone to enjoy next year

After so many events and new business openings were postponed during 2020 due to the pandemic, this year is looking rather busy for many people.

From rearranged theatre shows, to grand openings that have been pushed back, to events that were due to take place this year anyway, there is something for everyone to enjoy in Northamptonshire in 2021.

Strictly Come Dancing professionals will visit theatres across the county, a much-awaited museum will open, iconic planes will take to the skies and new type of food festival will take up residence in a county manor for a weekend.

And although some events may still be up in the air due to Covid-19, a large number have been scheduled and are due to take place this year, Covid-dependant.

Organisers and attendees alike are hoping they will be able to go ahead, not least so we all have something to look forward to.

In date order, here are 11 events and grand openings scheduled this year in Northamptonshire.
