After a mild couple of days, temperatures are set to soar in Northamptonshire over this coming weekend.
The Met Office is predicting that Northampton will see highs of 25C on Saturday (June 10) and highs of 24C on Sunday (June 11). Kettering is set to reach 24C on both days.
As the weekend is set to be a scorcher, you might be hoping to spend a good chunk of it outside, and – thankfully – there are a lot of outdoor events lined up across the county this weekend. From a food festival, to a dog festival, there is something for everyone, including your four-legged friends.
Here are nine events happening in Northamptonshire this weekend, which you can enjoy while basking in sunshine.
If you are hosting an outdoor, public event this weekend, which is not already in this round-up, please email [email protected].
