A little history
Kettering was at the heart of Northamptonshire's boot and shoe manufacturing industry — at its peak the town made millions of pairs annually for the armed forces and export. Wicksteed Park, opened in 1921, is one of England's oldest purpose-built leisure parks and has been delighting families for over a century.
Wicksteed Park is genuinely charming — old-fashioned and excellent for families. The Manor House Museum for the shoe heritage story. The market for local Northamptonshire produce. The town centre for local shopping.
