Kettering, Northamptonshire Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• We normally go and stand by the steps near the church,(the 1 nxt 2 the library)It's where all the cute skater boys hang out!!!! Watch out for the so called "skater girlz" though coz they give u dirty looks when they think you r about to hit on their boyfriends!!!!
• My Front Door. And of course the Town Center, everyone moans bout it but everyone does it
• My favourite is the three cocks - any man's ideal innit!!
• Bar sun is a good place where the girls get mullered,and the boys get bladdered. Then they wake up next morning and just feel hammered.
• London Rd car park isnt a new spot-me & my mates used to hang round there in 1985!
• Wickee Park, just to wind up the ol' security guys...nah u no i luv ya really!wickees a little on the expensive side but an old skool laugh!!
• Dalkeith place kettering
• Places for teenagers seem to include: The Knibb centre (youth club kinda thing on a saturday) which offers all music-minded kids a place to practise and others a place to hang out. Apparantly also open some nights a week. Other places include: Wicksteed park kiddies play area (look out for the Southfields and Tresham students during the day), The Library Gardens (age group 12-15 year old alterna-teens), Morrisons car park (skaters at night)and outside the Corn market hall and the Works whenever there is a gig on. Maccy D's always a good place to look too :P

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
