Wicksteed Park
Since 1921, Wicksteed Park remains Northamptonshire’s most popular family visitor attraction, with over 35 rides and attractions set in 147 acres of parkland. The Park's wonderful Edwardian Pavilion hosts conferences, weddings and corporate events and is home to the dazzling show 'The Way We Were’, a rock and rolling musical journey through the 1950’s and 1960’s.
The extensive parklands include three main ride areas plus the Wicksteed Railway, playgrounds, formal gardens, tree lined walks, nature trails, an arboretum, orienteering course, fishing lagoon, barbecue and picnic areas. Camping and caravan facilities are being introduced with great success.
