Thanks everyone for the tips and PM's sent. The flights are booked and we're heading over next week.
Hopefully catch a few of you at the Bolton Game.
Cheers

I'm exiled as it were albeit only 40 miles away and often pass through teyn on way to/from work.
However for a family event last weekend I actually stayed in town at (brand new) Premier Inn near Derngate.
I must say it was fantastic and what struck me about the area around there was how good it looked.
Bustled with people as there were events on at both the Royal and Derngate. Bar Hygge lends a bit of sophistication in Guildhall Road and the new paving leading up to the Guildhall itself is nicely done. Giles Street ain't half bad in the day and some good looking resturants st night, plus new Micropub about to open. The other way from there Phipps brew pub The Albion I really liked, decent band on, busy friendly crowd good beer too.
All in all Northampton gets a fair amount of (self) depreciation at times, but after some recent forays and one to come this Saturday it stands up pretty well I think.
