ABOUT THE ROADMENDER

The Roadmender has a rich history, starting as a youth club built in a different location before moving to its current premises in Ladys Lane in 1940.

By 1937, the club had grown to nearly 400 members and relocated to Gloucester House in Far Cotton before settling in its present location.

Despite its origins, The Roadmender has always been a welcoming place for all. In the 1980s, it became a hub for community arts, offering printing, textiles, music, and theatre activities primarily for disadvantaged young people.

From the early 1980s to the late 1990s, The Roadmender was Northamptonshire’s premier music and arts center, hosting iconic bands like Radiohead, Metallica, Oasis, Travis, and the Manic Street Preachers. Although a refurbishment in 1999/2000 reduced its main hall capacity, it remains a crucial stop for touring bands.
