The Mayor of Kettering

The Mayor is elected every May at Annual Council, by councillors, from amongst their number. The Mayor for 2024/25 will be elected at the Annual Town Council Meeting on Wednesday 15 May as part of the historic Mayor-Making Ceremony.

The Council also elects a Deputy Mayor at the same time, and it is generally the case that the Deputy Mayor becomes Mayor the following year.

The Mayor chairs meetings of full Council and is also the first citizen of the town of Kettering.

The Mayor of Kettering attends hundreds of events each year to support and promote activities, groups and events in the town.

These include visiting schools and groups such as guides, scouts and cadets, opening new shops and businesses in the town, attending civic concerts and services and much more.

The Mayor of Kettering has been in existence since 1938 and the Mayor's robes are the original garments made that year.
