Scene Guide
Northamptonshire currently only has one gay venue centrally located in
Northampton, The Boston Clipper located on College Street . This is in
the town centre and within walking distance from the bus and train stations.
The Mail Coach on Derngate is also central and has for sometime provided
a warm welcome to LGB folk.
Route 69 (formerly the Jolly Anker) on Horseshoe Street while officially
no longer a gay venue is still gay friendly and the owners insist that
homophobia will not be tolerated. They are hoping that there may be a
promoter out there willing to put on a night for the community on a regular
basis. If that happens of course we will let you know.
.
There are also several other pubs in the surrounding area: Rainbows in Coventry, The Legend in Rugby, Pink Punters in Bletchley and Cross Keys in Peterborough. Then of course if you’re looking for a city scene London and Birmingham are both approximately one hour away by car or train.
