6 Best Activities In Towcester
Towcester pulls in two directions with very little in the middle: animals at one end, motorsport at the other. Catanger Llama Trekking and Rookery Open Farm hold down the first, Silverstone the second. Six entries in all. The open-air column runs to four and the covered one to three, so a day here usually starts outside and retreats when it has to.

The range beats what a town this size normally offers, mostly because the two ends of it sit so far apart. Choose the direction before you choose the day, then build everything else around whichever one won the argument.
Visiting Towcester with kids: FAQs
What can we do in Towcester with young children?
Rookery Open Farm does the most for young children, keeping barns and open ground together so a passing shower does not end the visit. Catanger Llama Trekking wants children old enough to walk beside an animal without hauling on it. Towcester Museum is small and covered, which makes it a sensible half hour rather than the main event. Those three together make a workable day for under-eights.
Is there anything to do in Towcester when it rains?
Three entries offer cover, which is thin but usable. Towcester Museum takes the quiet end and Towcester Centre for Leisure handles swimming. Rookery Open Farm is the genuinely useful one, because indoor barns mean a visit survives weather that would cancel an open-air-only trip outright. Past those three, a wet day in this part of Northamptonshire means driving somewhere else.
Can children visit Silverstone?
Silverstone appears on the list as an outdoor sightseeing attraction and it is by a distance the biggest name attached to the town. What is actually available varies enormously with whatever the circuit has on, and access is not the same from one day to the next, so the official site is the thing to read rather than any assumption. For a motorsport-minded child it is the whole reason to come.
