Rushden Lakes

Rushden Lakes is a major shopping and leisure complex in Rushden, Northamptonshire. It first opened in 2017 and work on further retail and leisure units is continuing including a Cineworld cinema which opened in 2019. It is situated just off the A45 on the northern outskirts of Rushden.

The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire have a visitors centre which overlooks the Skew Bridge lake. [1]

Future

There are as yet unapproved plans to further extend the complex with a further extension dubbed by the owners as Rushden Living. Neighbouring councils have objected to these proposals.. The construction of Rushden Lakes has been blamed for a sharp drop in footfall in Northampton town centre.
