Welcome to the January edition of In Your Vicinity 

As the new year dawns, January brings with it a sense of renewal, reflection, and fresh beginnings. It’s the season of New Year’s resolutions—whether that means committing to a healthier lifestyle, trying something new, supporting local businesses more often, or simply making time for the things that matter most. Whatever your goals for 2026, our community is here to support you every step of the way.

This month, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on the wonderful local businesses that continue to be the heart of our town. From cosy cafés helping us beat the winter chill, to independent shops offering unique gifts and everyday essentials, January is the perfect time to shop local and support the people who make our community thrive. Many businesses are also launching exciting New Year offers, fitness programmes, workshops, and wellbeing services—ideal for turning those resolutions into lasting habits.

January is also a lively month for sport across the area and throughout our nation. Look out for local football and rugby fixtures resuming after the festive break, Northampton Saints versus Harlequins on the 3rd of Jan, and Saints versus Bordeaux Bègles on the 11th – kicking off the European Rugby Champions Cup. The 3rd round of the FA Cup will commence the weekend of the 9th, where you can expect entertainment and shock all weekend long! However, prior to this excitement, the final test of the Ashes on the Thursday. Finally, once the hangover reaches Monday, tennis fans will be delighted at the start of the Australian open.

As we step into the year ahead, this month’s edition is filled with community news, upcoming events, business highlights, and opportunities to get involved. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, connection, or simply a good read with a cup of tea, we hope this series of ‘In Your Vicinity’ brings you a sense of excitement and togetherness as we begin a brand-new chapter—together.
Here’s to a happy, healthy, and community-focused January!
