great location, easy parking, superb local restaurants and some really great shows that get to London Theatre land appear here great restaurants. For us it is a civilised experience driving 20 minutes to Derngate, easy parking having a nice meal and watching a West End show in an excellent local theatre. More

The theatre along with the Saints rugby club are the reasons to live in Northampton! More

Theatre is good and seating and view of stage from all areas is good but ticket and drink prices overinflated, prices at The Stables are lower and whole experience is more enjoyable. More
