The new Barwell Stand at Franklin’s Gardens, home of Northampton Saints Rugby Football Club, opened last November. The stand, which increases the stadium's capacity by 2,000, is now fully finished.

The new Sturtridge Suite is available for events including dinner-dances, exhibitions, conferences and meetings with in-house catering and complimentary wi-fi. The first floor suite will accommodate up to 270 guests. In addition 21 hospitality boxes have now been replaced with 10 new boxes.

Franklin's Gardens is located on the outskirts of Northampton within an hour of major cities including London, Birmingham, Oxford and Cambridge. The stadium has over 1000 free-of-charge parking spaces available for events.
