Work set to start in New Year on exciting new leisure development in Northampton
23 October 2025
Plans to transform Northampton's Market Walk into a leading food and leisure destination in the heart of the town centre are set to move forward in the new year.
West Northamptonshire Council and STACK are committed to delivering the exciting new venue off the Market Square, with work expected to begin on site in January, and projected completion in winter 2026.
Earlier timelines initially set out for the scheme shifted due to a number of technical and preparatory steps for delivering the development taking longer to complete than anticipated, however work on transforming the site is now set to progress.
Cllr James Petter, Cabinet Member for Local Economy, Culture and Leisure at WNC said: "As with any major regeneration scheme, dates are always indicative and subject to change. Both teams are working hard to bring this project forward, and we’re confident that STACK Northampton will be worth the wait.
"This development will create a vibrant destination for food, drink, live entertainment and events, and play a key role in the wider regeneration of the town centre. We look forward to sharing further updates as the scheme progresses."
