An Evening with Dame Joanna Lumley

Saturday 17th October 2026 at 5:00pm

In 2030 we celebrate the 350th anniversary of the rededication of All Saints' Church, and its rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1675. We're determined that Northampton's iconic Parish Church should have a very splendid birthday, and have launched a £600,000 fundraising programme to make it all happen in time and to ensure that those parts of the Church which need some restoration and renewal are fully ready.

Dame Joanna Lumley has kindly agreed to join us here at All Saints in a "Conversation with Joanna Lumley" and we would be delighted if you were able to join us. Tickets are now on sale priced £25, £20, and £15.

Visit our TryBooking page for more information.

Our appeal includes repairs to the fabric, including a new clock, bells, heating, external lighting and redecoration. Key among the objectives is to make the building more attractive to the wider community, as well as serving well its core purpose as a place of worship and of developing our music education programme.

We're delighted that Dame Joanna has, in support of these aims, agreed to give us her time for free. Some of her ancestors are commemorated in the church, and we very much look forward to welcoming her. We're delighted that the compere for the evening will be John Griff DL, who is a voice familiar to everyone in Northamptonshire.
