Kettfest is back to celebrate the best of the town in a one-day festival of all that's good about Kettering.

The main stage with live music will be in the Market Place, plus there's BBQ and Busking by the Gold Street clock, Schumfest in The Yards, a kids' zone and spoken word tent.

We are now taking bookings for traders for Kettfest.

The food and drink stalls will be in the Market Place around the Main Stage, from 11am to 8pm. We are also booking in non-food traders in High Street, from 11am to 5pm.

Pitches cost £20 for the day and are available on a first-come first-served basis.

Stallholders will need to hold up to date public liability insurance, food traders will have to produce up to date food hygiene certification, including a four or five-star rating. Full rules on having a market stall are at the bottom of this page.
