About Olde England

Olde England is a grassroots music venue in Northampton, Northampton with a standing capacity of approximately 80. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.

Olde England books Folk acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Northampton venue directory.

The Olde England is an end-of-terrace Victorian building on Kettering Road in Kingsley Park, Northampton, converted from a shop into a quirky three-floor real-ale pub. It aims to keep six cellar-conditioned cask ales on at all times and deliberately runs without televisions or loud background music — the live-music focus is a weekly folk night every Thursday, where local musicians play traditional folk on the basement floor, plus a Wednesday quiz from 8:30pm. Dog-friendly and unhurried, it's a genuine grassroots room for folk and acoustic players rather than amplified rock or covers bands.
