Getting to the Show

Driving from London
Take Junction 8 off the A14. Head towards town. At 1st roundabout turn Rt. into Lake Ave. At next roundabout turn Rt. into Thurston Drive. Leisure Village is on Rt.  Stewards will direct you to parking areas.

Public Transport
Kettering Midland Mainline Station is served by trains to & from London/Nottingham/Derby/Sheffield ( East Midlands Railway Inter City, diesels), London St. Pancras/Luton/Bedford (EMR Connect, electrics) A complimentary shuttle bus will transfer visitors to and from the railway station, between 08:30 and 16:00. But see below

PLEASE NOTE: On 1st March, East Midland Railways services out of London St. Pancras are suspended due to engineering work between Mill Hill and Luton. Thameslink services from London St.Pancras to Bedford are similarly affected. Passengers wishing to travel to Kettering from London are advised to use the Kings Cross to Hitchin service, wher a bus link connects with Luton. Be advised however, that this arrangement will add considerably to the normal journey time, so plan your journey accordingly.

Further details can be found here:

https://www.eastmidlandsrailway.co.uk/travel-information/service-alterations/buses-replace-trains-between-luton-and-mill-hill-broadway

There are also disruptions to EMR Regional services out of Liverpool Lime Street.

Walking time to the venue is about 15 min. Exit station, turn left, left again into Northfield Avenue, left under railway bridge and left into Lake Avenue. Follow footpath until it divides, bear left past football pitches. Venue is straight ahead, across road.

There are regular bus services from Northampton and Peterborough to Kettering town centre. The nearest bus stop to Kettering Leisure Village is opposite the end of Lake Avenue (near the Trading Post pub). This is served by the 10 and X10 services, to and from Northampton, but these services are hourly, and you will be faced with a 15-minute walk to KLV. 

Note The X4 service from Northampon and Peterborough uses a different route through town, so does not stop here

There is a taxi rank close to the town centre bus interchange.
