Home · Events in Kettering This Week

You can find a range of events across Kettering this week, from established community activities to new cultural highlights in public spaces. Weekday mornings include play sessions for under-fives at local libraries such as Desborough Community Library and St Nicholas Community Centre near Market Square. During school holidays, family workshops focus on Easter themes with hands-on projects using natural materials like wood and wool, led by arts coordinators.

Evenings feature live music at venues linked via the East Midlands Railway’s weekend service network. Full album nights take place midweek at performance spaces in Wellingborough Road, drawing people from nearby towns including Northampton and Corby. At Kettering Station, tribute acts perform on St Mary’s Street.

Cycling time trials are held along the A6003 route near Wicksteed Park, with sign-ups through local sports clubs. On Fridays and Saturdays, DJs play drum and bass and DNB at licensed venues connected to Horsemarket Bus Interchange, genres prominent in regional underground circuits.

These events reflect ongoing civic engagement across age groups, showing how Kettering supports public programming through accessible spaces.
