Learn more about hotels in Kettering

Kettering, a market and industrial town, rests comfortably within Northamptonshire, England, neatly nestled 67 miles to the north of London and a quick 15-mile jaunt to the northeast of Northampton. The town, part of the East Midlands region, owes its name to a charming reference to "the place of Ketter's people", harking back to an era rich with tradition and social ties.

The town's history stretches back to the Romans and has since seen a flourishing period as a hub for the woollen cloth production in the 17th century, before achieving renown due to its thriving boot and shoe industry. Kettering, today, is a bustling commuter town due to its convenient location on the Midland Main Line railway, offering direct services to London St Pancras International.

At the heart of Kettering, you'll find the iconic Crocketed Spire of the Parish Church of SS Peter and Paul and the treasured Wicksteed Park, Britain's second-oldest theme Park. The town bears connection to influential historical figures such as William Carey and William Knibb, missionaries who left an indelible mark on the fabric of history.

When to visit Kettering

Kettering, steeped in pastoral charm and brimming with diverse activities, is a treat to visit all round the year. However, for those seeking to bask in the English sun, the optimum time to visit would be during the months of June, July and August, when the temperatures soar up to a pleasant 22.5°C during the day and dip to a cosy 11.3°C at night.

For those looking to avoid the unpredictable British rainfall, the months of April, March and September offer the best compromise with the lowest expected rainfall. If humidity isn't your companion of choice, a July visit would be perfectly timed, while a winter, spring or even a fall trip to Kettering would offer comfortable temperatures and a platter of engaging activities to dive into!
