We enjoyed some fabulous music, thought-provoking theatre and great comedy in a busy schedule this Autumn.

Following on from the interactive and challenging Great Austerity Debate were two beautiful and magical nights of music.

John Bramwell from I Am Kloot, veteran of all the major festivals, friend and tour mate of Frank Skinner, Steve Coogan and John Thompson amongst many musical royalty of the last 30 years, was a delight: funny, passionate, stunning and crystal clear in our fabulous acoustic.

And Icelandic genius Hafdis Huld made some new friends to join her many, dedicated fans – her combination of her hilarious quirky, zany charm and her ice-clear vocals, with gorgeous self-penned songs and incredible covers of unlikely classics made for a wonderful night for all lucky enough to be with us.

The month drew to  a close with November’s Rolling in the Aisles and a great night of dark humour from ex-cop Alfie Moore. It was a packed house, as it was Charity fund-raiser for the family of a local officer.

Into December and “it’s getting a bit like Christmas”, with both the Etsy crafters’ Fair and our own Community Christmas Fair drawing crowds and involving all ages in the fun!

Our staff worked super hard and deserved their bubbly!

In the run up to the Big Day, get into the Festive spirit with a hilarious night of comedy!

On 20th December it is the return of our festive favourite, Comedians and Carols! Dress up in your favourite Christmassy outfit, bring the whole family or your work-mates or friends and enjoy a night of laughter, singing and fun!

Hosted by our very own Nick Wills, with musical comic Jay Foreman, anarchic chef George Egg and veteran international headliner Dominic Holland, its a night not to be missed.

Tickets are disappearing fast but there are still some available at our usual vendors, at £12 (£8).

Wishing you a very happy Christmas and a fun, exciting and entertaining 2019 from us all at Kettering Arts Centre!

Coming up very soon, we will be re-opening our doors for an Autumn season that is varied, fun, thought-provoking, challenging and as always top quality entertainment at a reasonable price.

We begin again with our ever popular Rolling in the Aisles Comedy Club, and it returns each month with more hilarity, laughter and fun!

The Nish Kumar show on 21st September is now SOLD OUT! Contact office@ketteringartscentre.com to join a waiting list.

But don’t worry – we have so much more! We are always delighted to announce the return of the ever-fabulous Pantaloons. This time they are back with their bread-and-butter; vibrantly fun and accessible Shakespeare – the knockabout comedy “As You Like It”.

And then something very new and exciting – the Incredible, truly Mind-Blowing,  Forensic Mind Reader, Colin Cloud.

We close a packed September with a musical extravaganza from the RAF:

October has a strong Mental Health and Well Being theme. Come along and boost your own well-being with a brilliant show about making the world a better place. Then help us to raise much needed funds for Kettering’s own wellness charity, Johnny’s Happy Place, with a gig, yet to be confirmed but it should be VERY, VERY exciting…!!

And finally, November brings us more variety again, from interactive theatre, to some wonderful internationally renowned acoustic music acts and brilliant comedy.

All our tickets are available HERE  and at Waterstones, Kettering.

NOTE RE PARKING during the Autumn season: Please allow extra time to get to and park near our venue. There are major road works going on, near the church on Eskdaill Street and the free parking area next to the church is out of action until December. We have a small car park off Crown Street, but for evening shows, Sainsury’s opposite has lots of spaces that are free after 6pm.
