Welcome to the August edition of In Your Vicinity 

August is here, bringing long summer days, school holidays and plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy everything our local area has to offer. Whether you’re making the most of the sunshine with family and friends, supporting local businesses or exploring Northamptonshire’s fantastic events, there’s something for everyone this month. It’s also a fantastic time for sport across the UK. Cricket fans can enjoy the height of the domestic season with The Hundred and the Metro Bank One Day Cup, while football supporters eagerly anticipate the return of the Premier League and English Football League. Tennis enthusiasts will also be looking ahead to the excitement of the US Open, as the summer sporting calendar continues to deliver.

Closer to home, Northamptonshire is packed with summer events throughout August. From local food festivals and village fêtes to classic car shows, outdoor theatre, family fun days and live music, our county comes alive during the school holidays. Whether you’re discovering a new local attraction, enjoying a stroll through one of our beautiful parks, or supporting community events, there’s no shortage of ways to make the most of the season.

The A6 Viaduct (which carries the A6/Station Road over the River Nene) near Irthlingborough is undergoing a total 24/7 road closure for critical waterproofing and concrete repairs. The closure is expected to run until August 21. As always, we’d like to thank our wonderful local advertisers who make this magazine possible. Please remember to support the businesses featured throughout these pages—they’re at the heart of our local community and are here to help with everything from home improvements and trades to health, leisure and professional services.

We hope you enjoy this month’s edition and wish you a wonderful August!
