It may surprise you to learn what a seat of learning Northamptonshire is.

We can boast of having one of the UK’s fastest-growing new Universities, and our innovative colleges include

some world-class leather technology and motorsport courses.

Here in Northamptonshire, we don’t believe that education ends when school or college finishes. Our adult learning opportunities are always keenly filled.

The Pride of Northampton

The Pride of Northampton will be a ten-week public art exhibition organised by Northampton Borough Council working with specialist art events and education company Wild In Art.

The 'parade' will involve dozens of 5ft high lion sculptures finding homes around the town next summer. 

Each lion sculpture will be sponsored by a business, individual or community group and local artists are going to be decorating the lions and bring them to life. At the end of the summer the sculptures will be auctioned to raise money for charity.
