Northampton Attractions
Sywell Aviation Museum
Sywell Aviation Museum aims to preserve the history of Sywell Aerodrome and Northamptonshire's rich aviation heritage from the early days of aviation to the Second World War and beyond. The museum was Museum of the Year 2007.
The museum is packed full of exhibits with historical artefacts, models, weapons, uniforms, photographs, aircraft archaeology, engines and literature.
The small museum consists at present of four Nissen huts which were originally used as bomb fuzing sheds at Bentwaters by the USAAF during WW2.
For 2011 the Museum is expanding to include a new aircraft display hall!
Open 10.30-16.30 from Easter Saturday - end December Weekends and Bank Holidays - group visits available by prior arrangement outside those times.
Old Dairy Farm Country Shopping and Craft Centre
The Old Dairy Farm is located in the picturesque village of Upper Stowe and has beautiful views over the Northamptonshire countryside.
The Centre is housed in a complex of stone-built farm buildings and is sited around two main courtyards. Some buildings date back to the sixteenth century, many retain part of their original features, all have been restored and updated in a very sympathetic way to help retain the atmosphere and history of the original farm.
The Centre offers our visitors a unique selection of shops, selling a wide variety of products to suit most pockets and tastes. The choice available includes; a wide selection of top brand ladies clothes, lingerie, swimwear, shoes and handbags, quality arts and crafts, fresh flowers and garden ornaments, greetings cards, gifts, collectables, gift foods and traditional sweets, and our paint your own pottery studio.
The restaurant and tea room is open daily, offering a wide variety of refreshments.
To complement the shopping and restaurant, the Centre is also home to a selection of working artists and craftspeople, their work includes: cabinet making, floristry, photography, pottery painting, stone masonry and wood turning. We are also home to local accountants Hallett and Associates, and Pour la Femme beauty and electrolysis.
We have a small selection of animals at the centre which are on show to visitors. Whilst they are not being shown as an attraction in their own right, they do add an extra interest especially for our younger visitors. Currently we have two Kune-Kune pigs, sheep (numbers depend on the time of year), cockerels, hens, ducks, budgies and several friendly cats.
During the year the Centre holds several special events. We have our lambing weekends in the spring which is a real family favourite, and decorated shopping weekends prior to Christmas.
The Centre is open daily 10am to 5pm (4.30pm in January and February), we are closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day. Some individual shop opening hours may vary.
There is ample free parking, no entrance fee, except for some special events. The Centre is signed from the A5 between Towcester and Weedon, 10 minutes from junction 16 of the M1.
Dogs are welcome, but are not allowed in any shops or the restaurant (guide dogs excepted), and must be kept on a lead at all times. There is disabled parking and level access to most areas of the Centre.
The Centre is ideally located for exploring the local countryside and canalside walks, the restaurant being ably stocked to revive even the most hardy of walkers. There are also country houses, museums and interesting local towns and villages within a short drive of the Centre.
