Hotels for Northampton Saints v Newcastle Red Bulls

The game is at Franklin's Gardens. A standout fixture in the calendar, with a big, noisy crowd all but guaranteed.

Northampton Saints' home in the St James district, west of the town centre, is a well-appointed Premiership ground with a reputation for a proper rugby atmosphere. The surrounding streets are ordinary Northampton, but the town's pubs, restaurants and market square are a short walk or bus ride east. Northampton station sits between the two, roughly twenty minutes' walk from the gates. A room in the centre keeps food and transport close while leaving an easy trip out to the ground before kick-off.
