This summer, Delapré Abbey is the place to be! With a packed programme of events ranging from music festivals to live theatre, there’s truly something for everyone. We’ve rounded up 5 exciting activities you can enjoy on the stunning grounds of Northamptonshire’s very own Delapré Abbey…

1. Preacher the Storyteller

Bring the whole family for an enchanting afternoon on Wednesday 13th August with Preacher the Storyteller. Enjoy a picnic in Delapré Abbey’s beautiful Walled Garden, complete with live music, a bubble machine, and immersive storytelling. Find a cosy spot, settle in, and let the magic of story time transport you.

2. Outdoor Theatre: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Join The Three Inch Fools on Monday 25th August at 6pm as they bring Shakespeare’s most iconic comedy to life in a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud performance under the summer sky. On Midsummer’s Eve, deep within an enchanted forest, feuding fairies, runaway lovers, and a band of hilariously hopeless actors collide in a tale of magic and mischief.
Celebrating their 10th anniversary, The Three Inch Fools promise a riotously fun evening filled with music, mayhem, and unforgettable characters – all led by the mischievous Puck.

3. Summertime Live

On 19th July, Delapré Abbey will come alive with four stages of live music and DJs, headlined by Ministry of Sound Ibiza Anthems. With performances from Sigma, Nathan Dawe, So Solid Crew, Blazin’ Squad, Switch Disco, and many more, it promises to be an unforgettable celebration of sound and summer.

4. Car Boot Sales

Looking to declutter or discover hidden gems? Delapré Abbey will be hosting regular car boot sales throughout the summer – starting at 8am – 12pm. It’s the perfect opportunity to buy, sell, and browse in a picturesque setting.

5. Afternoon Tea

Treat yourself to a delightful selection of homemade cakes and savoury bites — including The Orangery’s famously fresh-baked scones. Choose to enjoy your traditional Afternoon Tea in the Abbey’s historic Billiard Room or the peaceful Walled Garden. Best of all, it’s available all summer long.

And so much more – including an outdoor cinema screening of Grease!
