Nativity plays are one of the highlights of the Christmas calendar for many children… and their proud parents.
Whether it was the traditional Mary and Joseph story, or a more modern tale, many Northampton primary schools produced and performed nativities during the festive period.
Dozens of children donned costumes and memorised lines and songs to perform in front of beaming parents, grandparents, carers and loved ones.
Below is a collection of photos from nativity plays performed by Northampton schoolchildren for Christmas 2023.
