The Three Horseshoes is a 1757 ironstone village pub at 23 High Street, Ecton, near Northampton (NN6 0QA) — named after a forge once worked by Benjamin Franklin's uncle, and now home to the Benjamin Franklin brewery on site. It keeps a traditional multi-room layout with two bars and a games area (Northants skittles and darts). Music is monthly: an open-mic night on the last Thursday of each month plus occasional live bands which, for the pub's size, are often a cut above. A house PA is provided and the venue welcomes both originals and covers.
