The Grade 1 listed manor is the earliest surviving dwelling in Northamptonshire with a history dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period.

Dessie Magee
Brighton based folk/rock singer-songwriter Dessie Magee, hails from Belfast, Northern Ireland where his career began within the heavy underground music scene.

Since then Dessie has gone on to sell out headline shows in Brighton, London and Northern Ireland, appeared at festivals such as Brighton Festival and Fringe Festival and had great success touring America the summer of 2017. His debut single ‘Maze’ was picked as BBC Radio 1’s ‘Track Of The Day’, The Unsigned Guide’s ‘Track Of The Month’, which spent over a month in the top five of the French charts and racked up over 100,000 video views.
Dessie will be joined by his band and we are soon to announce 2 other support acts for this show.
