About Us
As the rural and community touring scheme for Northamptonshire, Northants Touring Arts exists to provide communities with access to high quality arts events by supporting volunteer promoters to host performances and workshops by professional artists in their community.
Each year we present a programme of more than 60 events that take place across Northamptonshire. This programme includes theatre, music, dance, comedy, storytelling and events for children. We believe that the arts have a valuable role to play in enhancing the quality of life for individuals and developing community cohesion, and that the opportunity to access the arts in a community setting should be available to all.
Our work is made possible through the funding we receive from Arts Council East Midlands and the county and district Councils of Northamptonshire. This includes: Northamptonshire County Council, Corby Borough Council, Daventry District Council, Kettering Borough Council and South Northamptonshire Council.
Northants Touring Arts is managed by New Perspectives Theatre Company. With over 40 years’ experience of rural and community touring, New Perspectives has built up an extensive knowledge and understanding of the sector, and is able to deliver all aspects of NTA’s programme using its dedicated team of staff. New Perspectives is funded by Arts Council East Midlands and is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee.

We are delighted to welcome you to the launch of Northants Touring Arts' brand new website
Having led the way for rural touring websites throughout the UK, the website has received a brand new look, which will coincide with exciting changes that we will be making to the scheme in the coming months.
The scheme will allow more flexibilty for promoters to book events in their communities and give performers more of an opportunity to put their work out there. The website will assist with this by allowing performers and promotrs access to the latest information all year round.
Audiences will also benefit, as the website has been designed to be more user-friendly and offers a wide range of access to information, including links to videos, images, venue information and much, much more!
Chris Kirkwood, General Manager at New Perspectives Theatre Company, who runs Northants Touring Arts is thrilled with the new site:
At Northants Touring Arts we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of developments in the rural touring sector. This website, developed in partnership with De Facto is the first step in providing volunteer promoters in villages across Northamptonshire with an even better service for booking high quality professional performances right in the heart of their community. We are thrilled with the result!
