  • Painting the Town Red | 1
    Painting the Town Red | 1 lthorp House. Photo Nathan Wan. Robe UK was extremely proud to work with a number of companies, organisations, venues and individuals to light ten significant buildings and landmarks in and around its hometown of Northampton … for the #LightItInRedlighting action campaign on Monday night, 6th of July. #LightItInRed was a UK-wide initiative set up by Steven Haynes from Clearsound Productions and Phillip Berryman from The Backstage Theatre Jobs Forum to highlight the challenges facing the live events, entertainment, arts, and performance sector, which, despite a very welcome £1.57 billion financial assistance package for the ‘culture’ sector announced by the government on the eve of the event, still has no re-open date after the lockdown. The “emergency red” was for all related venues, companies, businesses and the massive associated infrastructure, including thousands of talented freelancers – creative and technical – all are struggling for survival. Painting the Town Red | 2 University of Northampton. Photo by Lindsay Cave. Over six hundred and fifty illuminations were on the #LightItInRed map dotted all over the UK in a highly successful show of cohesion in these anxious times. Robe UK’s head of marketing Theresa Gibson enthusiastically coordinated all the permissions required to light these key Northampton sites as well as dealing with logistics and sourcing fixtures for which Robe UK partnered with rental and production company Clearsound Production from Shipston-on-Stour.

  • Wolverton to Northampton Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Wolverton to Northampton walk Three rivers, a medieval hunting forest, a War of the Roses battlefield and Britain's newest university campus Length 30.2 kilometres/18.9 miles OS Maps OS Explorer 207 neatly covers the whole route. Grid reference for Northampton station is SP747605. Wolverton station, grid reference SP821415, is located in Buckinghamshire. Toughness 5 out of 10. Features This very long but gentle walk follows the River Great Ouse on tarmac cycle paths under Wolverton Viaduct, then turns North-West across fields and meadows to join the River Tove, passing just West of Castlethorpe. You continue North on a concrete lane then across fields to cross back under the railway line and then head North-East to Hartwell and the Rose and Crown (but see the lunch notes below - it is uncertain if this pub serves lunch). There are further lunch options later in Salcey Forest, with its network of marked paths, and at the Spread Eagle in Piddington. You then head North-West across more fields to the tiny settlement of Preston Deanery. The adjoining villages of Wootton and Hardingstone mark the beginning of the approach to Northampton and offer further refreshment (and bus) possibilities. You continue North across the lovely Delapre Park, with the option of visiting Delapre Abbey, then pass through the new Waterside Campus of the University of Northampton. The final approach to Northampton station takes you West along the River Nene and a tributary through Food Meadow. The path surfaces are generally good except when fields are ploughed.
