Events


As friends of Delapre Abbey, we want to help everyone get the best experience of the site and what's happening in and around it. This page is about events we organise and take part in.  As we know our followers are interested in the heritage, flora and fauna at Delapre Abbey, this page also supports the work of Delapre Abbey Preservation Trust (DAPT), Delapre Park , Northampton Borough Council and other local organisations by raising awareness of activities they are organising and supporting at Delapre Abbey.  If you would like us to mention your event, please contact us.

The programme is being added to all the time. If you use social media, check out our Facebook Page DelapreFodaAbbey and our Twitter account @FriendsDelapre1 for more information.
