Northampton's rather unusual Speciality Events Venue
Eat, Drink, Be Quirky

The Eccentric Englishman
21 Jun 2025
Celebrate the longest day of the year with our special Solstice Cakes, made with love and sunshine!
Northampton’s much-loved summer celebration, Solstice Festival Northants, returns to Duston Mill, Sixfields on 21st June 2025, promising a magical day of music, creativity, and community spirit. Among the vibrant mix of local food and drink providers is none other than The Eccentric Englishman, bringing a delicious twist of quirky charm and sweet indulgence to the festivities.
Known for their award-winning, home-made cakes, from classic Victoria sponges to outrageously decadent cup-cakes, The Eccentric Englishman is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Festivalgoers can expect to choose from handcrafted bakes, with a special Solstice-themed selection to mark the longest (and hopefully sunniest) day of the year. Whether you're after a sunshine-drenched lemon drizzle or something whimsically wild and chocolatey, there’ll be a treat to suit every taste.
With live music, workshops, family fun, and a sunset bonfire ceremony, this family-friendly festival is a celebration of Northamptonshire’s creativity, and what better way to fuel your day than with a lovingly made slice (or two) from one of the region’s finest independent cake creators?
Come for the beats, the ‘eats’ and the bonfire – but don’t leave without something sweet and quirky from The Eccentric Englishman.
