As the weekend is finally here, you might want to treat yourself to a couple of drinks with loved ones and there are plenty of places to choose from across Northampton.
Though there are many drinking venues dotted around the town, we have collated a round-up of 10 with extensive cocktail menus waiting to be tried.
And if you would prefer not to drink alcohol, there are mocktail alternatives available so you will not miss out on the fun.
Let’s take a look…
