This week, Chronicle & Echo visited independent businesses in the town centre to find out what they have to offer in the run up to Valentine’s Day.
From sweet treats and natural wax candles, to pottery and sparkly jewellery, nothing says love more than buying someone a gift from a local, independent business.
The variety this February is second to none, so let’s waste no time in showing you what you could get your hands on before the big day.
And if you are yet to book a date to celebrate, read our round up of the 10 Northampton restaurants offering exclusive Valentine’s menus.
