Whether you are in need of inspiration for family-friendly fun, great ways to exercise and enjoy the outdoors or you simply want to try something new, here are some great local options.

3. Water activities at Rushden Lakes
Experience the beautiful River Nene from a canoe, kayak, paddleboard or even a pedalo - you can hire all of those from Canoe2 at Rushden Lakes. You can book courses to learn or improve your skills on the water and you could even book a fully serviced canoeing B&B two day break. There are plenty of nearby cafes and shops so you can make a day of it. Photo: Conoe2
4. Tuck into scrumptious street food at Bite Street NN
Northampton’s “hottest street food pop-up” made its return in March at the County Cricket Ground. It features a variety of independent vendors with their own mouth-watering specials. Keep an eye out on their website for their future pop-ups - their next one is on the King's Coronation weekend. Photo: Kirsty Edmonds
