Other Events & Activities
The University of Northampton hosts a park run and sculpture trail.
There is a Park Run every Saturday at 9:00am at the Waterside Campus. The course starts by the Senate building to the rear of the University Campus, goes through the campus then over the footbridge to Becket’s Park for 3 clockwise laps of the park. Returning over the footbridge, the course loops around the Senate building then finishes on the grass area.
The University’s sculpture collection has moved to Waterside Campus and is now placed in specially designed settings across the new campus. Follow the trail around the Campus to see all the Sculptures.

Becket’s Park is on the university’s doorstep. So why not go for a walk or run, feed the squirrels or grab a coffee from Beckets Pavillion?
Visit Northampton
