A spokeswoman for Northampton Town Festival said: "It’s going to be a great weekend, with something for everyone – from hot-air balloons, fireworks, a giant funfair, live music, and opportunities for local traders to showcase themselves."

Confirmed acts this year include the return of the Devil's Horseman performers, the Vander Wheel of Death circus act, a human cannonball and motorbike displays.

Meanwhile, dozens of musicians will take centre stage to keep crowds entertained along with a funfair and roving performers.
