Residents will have the chance to win a lunch for two at the Kenilworth's Michelin Star restaurant if they purchase a charity advent calendar this Christmas.

Launched at the start of July, the Kenilworth Advent Calendar will raise money for causes including The Waverly Day Centre, Myton Hospice and The Talisman Theatre.

Costing £5 each, the calendars will go on sale at the end of September and Rotary expects the project to raise between £15,000 and £20,000 in its first year.

Each Kenilworth Advent Calendar has a unique number and throughout advent, from the 1 to the 24 of December, five prizes will be won every day with values up to £250.

And as more local businesses get behind the project, The Cross has donated a meal for two with a bottle of win included.

Andreas Antona, chef-patron of The Cross said: "We know inflation and especially the cost of energy is causing local charities to struggle, so we're very glad to support this new Rotary initiative to raise money to help them out this winter.

"It's a great idea and we wish it every success."

As well as The Cross, other Kenilworth eateries have also been eager to support the project with Thai Sarocha, The Sunam, and The Gauntlet also making donations.

Calendars will go on sale on the 1 of October and will be available until 28 November from Abbey End Market and in selected shops.
