Come along on Saturday 4th July to visit a 9th century church, a 17th century battlefield and two pretty towns in the county of Northamptonshire! **About the day** Northamptonshire is a landlocked county in the east Midlands. Its quite rural, with lots of farmland and market towns. It also has lots of pretty little villages with stone cottages and thatched roofs. The county has enough local stone buildings to rival the Cotswolds. **All Saints' Church, Brixworth** Brixworth is a historic village, primarily famous for housing All Saints' Church, one of the oldest and largest surviving Anglo-Saxon buildings in the UK. The church dates from the 9th century and is built of local stone and Roman stone, taken from nearby abandoned Roman buildings. **Naseby Battlefield** On the 14th June 1645, one of the pivotal battles of the English Civil War took place here. The Battle of Naseby was where a relatively unknown cavalry commander in the Parliamentary Army, a man named Oliver Cromwell, changed the course of history and routed the Royalist armies under Prince Rupert. **Oundle** Oundle is a quintessential English market town that sits at a bridging point on the River Nene and amidst the rolling countryside. The town has a medieval street layout lined with 17th-century Jacobean and Georgian stone buildings. Today it has many cafes, pubs and independent shops. **Uppingham** Uppingham is a market town with lots of honey coloured buildings and with its art galleries it has become a popular destination for art lovers. It also has lots of independent shops, including lots of antique shops. A little over 1 mile from the town are the earthwork remains of a medieval motte and bailey castle. **Coach seating** * If you wish to reserve a seat on the coach in advance, after you pay please look at the seating plan in the photos [here](https://www.meetup.com/london_cultureseekers/photos/36017632/534585636/) and then email me - [general@cultureseekers.org](http://general@cultureseekers.org), with the seat number/s you wish to reserve.

It’s one of the easiest ways to start a conversation. *\*Loong Express also has food and drinks available to buy onsite. Since they kindly host our Sunday socials, we encourage everyone to support the venue by ordering a drink, tea, snack, or meal during the afternoon if you can.* 🗣️ **Language exchange** Practise Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, English, or any language you’re learning in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.

You don’t need to know the rules before you come. 💬 **Free-flow conversation** Mingle, share stories, ask questions, make friends. No agenda, no performance — just a warm Sunday afternoon with curious people. ✍️ **Occasional cultural activities** Depending on the week, we may also include a light activity such as Chinese names, Hanzi writing, tea culture, travel prep, food stories, or a short culture quiz. **WhatsApp Community** Join our WhatsApp group to chat with members, suggest future activities, and get weekly event updates: [WhatsApp Community link](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KhKITDVOE0A21ytwHMsxfX?s=sh&p=i&ilr=4) **Time & place** 🕒 Every Sunday, 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM 📍 Loong Express 104 Great Portland St London W1W 6PE **A note on RSVP** If your plans change, please cancel your spot in advance so someone else can join.
