Getting there
The court is on Lady's Lane (NN1 3HQ), about 20 minutes' walk from Northampton town centre. From Corby, direct trains run to Northampton (via Kettering and Wellingborough on the Midland Main Line; check National Rail for current timetables), then a short bus or taxi ride to the court. There is no customer parking at the court — use town-centre car parks. Plan to arrive well before your listed time — security takes longer than most people expect on a first visit.
