Following a series of sold‑out Stadium Tours, Northampton Saints is delighted to announce a fresh set of dates for the 2026/27 season.
The fascinating behind‑the‑scenes journey at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens was made available – by overwhelming popular demand – for individual bookings during the 2025/26 campaign, and the response was phenomenal, with every single space snapped up.
If you missed out, don’t worry: five new dates are now available to book. Running once a month from August to December, and priced from just £20* for adults and £15* for juniors, supporters can experience the iconic arena like never before during an hour‑long guided tour.
The tour includes a visit to our spectacular home changing room, where the likes of Fin Smith, Tommy Freeman and Henry Pollock spend their final moments before running out onto the pitch – and where the ‘Shoe Army’ song is belted out after a home victory.
You’ll also step inside the away changing room, explore the exclusive Tunnel Club, visit the gym and press room, and even see where players and coaches fuel up in the canteen.
As you make your way around the ground, your guide will highlight some of the unique artefacts and stories that have shaped the stadium since it first became our home in 1880. The tour concludes with a visit to the trophy cabinet in the Barwell Stand, where you can take in the silverware that tells the story of the Club’s greatest achievements.
“We are proud to have one of the most famous and iconic standalone rugby stadiums here at Northampton Saints,” said Anna Wingerath, the Club’s Commercial Events Manager.
“Because our players train, prepare and play all on one site, our tours offer something truly unique compared to most other rugby venues.
“It’s been fantastic to see how popular the tours have become over the past year. The response has far exceeded our expectations, and it’s been brilliant welcoming so many supporters and visitors behind the scenes.
“With that success in mind, we’re delighted to be releasing new tour dates for the 2026/27 season and can’t wait to continue sharing the magic of cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens with even more people.”
