Didn't know this place existed until recently. Loads of interesting stuff going on if you are interested in almost anything to do with the world around you. I suggest you try it. My teenage boys are hooked on various subjects now, I would never have even thought of trying.

Fantastic club that has something for everyone!

The Northamptonshire Natural History Society offers a wonderful space for people interested in wildlife and the natural world. Located in the centre of Northampton, it’s both accessible and full of character. The members are welcoming and knowledgeable, and the society hosts engaging talks and activities. A great place to connect with others who share an interest in nature.
