Over the moon: Northampton Town celebrate with Royal and Derngate

Northampton’s Royal and Derngate hopes to score through a two-year partnership with Northampton Town Football Club to cross-promote activities.

In 2017, the two organisations got together, with the theatre taking a multimedia production The Twelfth Player to the Sixfields Stadium. Now the Cobblers have joined the theatre’s business club for two years.

Royal and Derngate chief executive Martin Sutherland said, “the theatre and the football club are both lucky to enjoy huge support from the people of Northampton. Building on the groundwork of The Twelfth Player, which saw many football fans and people completely new to theatre experience something different, we’re hoping that between us we can encourage even more people to try something new this season.”

Northampton Town’s commercial and marketing manager Caroline Lucy added, “we’re very excited about this partnership. The Twelfth Player showed how well our two organisations can work together, and we’re both committed to not only showing off the best Northampton has to offer but also bringing fantastic entertainment to the people of Northampton and beyond.”
