I recently saw an unbelievable offer for a Sunday night break in Northamptonshire and thought I would treat my husband to a night away. I was trying to re-invent the Sunday evening in our household as being fun rather than suffering going back to work blues! The offer was just £60 bed and breakfast per room and included a three course dinner on the Sunday evening for two! The house and surroundings are beautiful; you can see why it’s so popular for weddings - there is a wonderful view of the fantastic countryside from the hotel. The rooms were charmingly traditional, with beamed ceilings and lead lined windows. Definitely a place to go for a romantic weekend or Sunday night away!

I have been to the Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton a number of times .The modern Derngate Theatre and the older, more traditional Royal Theatre blend together beautifully; you would have never thought they were two separate venues. The new café is a great place to go for a light lunch or to meet friends for a pre show supper. I have just booked tickets for the Talented Mr Ripley in September, which Michelle Ryan is starring in - can’t wait!
