Welcome to Kettering - Central to life

Welcome to Kettering, a distinctive and fun town rich in character and heritage. 

Kettering is at the very heart of North Northamptonshire, the UK’s biggest single growth area outside of London. Given its central location, Kettering is perfectly placed to benefit from the significant growth opportunities in housing and employment that are being delivered in the area.

Recognised as being the retail centre for the surrounding area, Kettering is undergoing a transformation that will see further improvements to the shopping, employment, living and visiting experience.

The vision for Kettering is straight forward. In order to thrive in the future, the town needs to be able to offer a unique experience that will make people want to return again and again.

To help turn this vision into a reality, an ambitious programme of redevelopment is in progress. This is developing distinctive areas for new restaurants, more shops, both large department and chain stores along with smaller independent ‘niche’ outlets and new higher quality office space and leisure areas.

Improvements to the look and feel of streets and transportation links are also in hand.  The initial phase is already complete with the development of the award winning Market Place, a new restaurant zone significant investment in Market Street, Sheep Street and Horsemarket..
