bonio Says: Probably most famous for the street fair, held each year, seven weeks after easter.Not unusual you may say, but this one is a little. It goes on for one week, Saturday to Saturday. The most enjoyable part is the proclomation. This starts at 6am on Monday morning, the fair...
bonio Says: What else does Rothwell have? The parish church is a very old one and attracts visitors from all over! not my cup of tea, but if you like that sort of thing!! My favorite part is the bone crypt. A cellar under the church with thousands of human bones! No-one is too sure...

bonio Says: Well, in truth, not too scary - they're mostly for children, but one or two may surprise you - (not just the cost either) really it's a social occasion!
bonio Says: On the Sunday of the fair the rides do not open, usually lots going on though, a vintage car rally through the centre of town and then in the afternoon around ten bands will play in the park. If the weather is good a picnic and lots of beer are a good idea. The music is...

bonio Says: We are very lucky in Rothwell, not only the Thai Garden, mentioned earlier, but we have a far better than average Indian restaurant too. Very friendly and helpful, Mrs Bonio is a vegetarian, they'll happily cook any dish - even if it's not on the menu. Another place I visit...
The Thai Garden: As often as possible!
bonio Says: The Thai Garden is a marvellous Thai, Malaysian and Szechwan restaurant, people travel for miles to go. The Sunday lunch is very special, it's a set menu and different each week. Some familiar dishes are always served but there are always some not on the menu, great value...
The old Greyhound: Great music
bonio Says: This is a pub / music bar. Most nights there's something happening. Friday usually a disco (better one then the usual c**p). Saturday - live band. Sunday - sometimes live music. Wednesday - acoustic jam night. Thursday - electric jam night.The bands appearing are usually top...
bonio Says: Rothwell is easy to get to by road (if you're lucky!) We are on the A14 which is a major road connecting the M1 and the M6. Junctions 4 and 5 are for us. The nearest train station, on Midland Mainline, is in Kettering, about 4 miles away, and then No19 bus to Rothwell.
bonio Says: On Saturday afternoon in the winter you can usually find me at the football match. Rothwell Town play in the Doctor Martens Eastern division. The stadium is on Cecil St just out of the centre, it's not pretty - but it's home! The club are usually around the middle of the...
