KettFest 2024 The festival will see five stages hosted across the town, with musicians, dancers, poets and artists showcasing local talent. The main stage in Market Place will be open from 11am until 10pm in the Market Place. Run by Kettering Arts Centre, local bands will perform during the day with an open-air Bill Burton disco finale – cocktails and street food will keep visitors refreshed. At the other end of High Street, the Clock Tower stage, curated by Jason Redhead from ISM Academy will put up-and-coming artists into the spotlight. Stalls showcasing local hot food and produce will be available in Gold Street. In a first for the festival, Pets at Kettfest, sited outside Jamie’s Pet Food Shop on Lower Street, will see furry friends snapped for a fun Instagram photo. Pets can pose for a free pet and owner portrait sketched by artist Katy Dynes. Outside Peacocks in Meadow Road, the Community Stage will show off top-class dancers and performers while Kettering Library is hosting the spoken word stage with poet Kezzabelle leading workshops and performances at Cornerstone. The Yards working in collaboration with Mark Robinson, of The Music Barn Festival, will feature incredible DJs throughout the day and ‘have-a-go’ DJ slots. There will be live graffiti creation by Jimski and graffiti workshops. .
