Organisers say they hope to open the 'garden' every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from April 16 to May 17 with street food catering.

Organiser Marc Sawer, owner of a couple of town centre businesses including Northampton's The Church Restaurant, said: "We hope to have a big outdoor area where people can sit and relax while still following restrictions.

"I want it to be a relaxed atmosphere with a bit of background music and if we're lucky a bit of sunshine so people can enjoy themselves now the lockdown is easing."

The weekly event will reportedly offer free parking and free entry.
