Month-long 'CultureFest' to come to Kenilworth this summer
A month-long 'CultureFest' will take place in Kenilworth this summer as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival.
Running between July 16 and August 21, the festival will showcase and celebrate arts and heritage venues, artists, and creatives in the area.
Whilst the full schedule of events has not been announced yet, Cllr Liam Bartlett said this was a "once in a generation opportunity".
"We can't wait to have both cultural festivals taking place in Warwick District this summer," he said.
"This is a once in a generation opportunity to showcase and celebrate incredible creative talent, beautiful venues and culture to both local audiences and visitors from all over the world."
CultureFest is part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival - a six-month-long cultural programme across the West Midlands.
Organisers said it will be "the biggest celebration of creativity ever seen in the region and one of the largest ever artistic programmes to surround the Commonwealth Games".
Amongst the 200 events being staged is an aptly themed Talking Birds production of 'Come Bowl With Me' which will take place in Royal Leamington Spa's Pump Room Gardens from 23 to 25 July.
The district is set to host the Lawn Bowls, Para Lawn Bowls and the start and finish of the Road Race Cycling event as part of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games in July and August 2022.
And the University of Warwick will be hosting nearly 2,000 sportspeople in a temporary athletes village on campus.
