The popular Old Town Festival makes its much-anticipated return to Kenilworth High Street on Sunday 24 August 2025, promising a full day of free live music, food, and family fun right in the heart of the community. 

From 12pm to 9pm, festivalgoers will enjoy back-to-back performances from 10 local bands across two stages, filling the streets with music and atmosphere.

"Whether you're a rock enthusiast or love an acoustic vibe, there's something for everyone," organisers said.

Entry is completely free, thanks to the sponsorship of local businesses including Pittaway Thompson, Ultra ICT, Umbrella Broadband, Emmerson Press, AV Candy, Band One, The Trailer Stage, The Old Bakery, and Kenilworth Cantonese.

Additional support has been provided through grants from Kenilworth Town Council, Kenilworth Rotary Club, and Kenilworth Lions, making this celebration of community possible. 

Attendees can look forward to a wide selection of food and drink, from mac and cheese to waffles and ice cream, alongside a carefully curated selection of traditional ales and local gins.

For families, there's plenty to keep younger visitors entertained, including a face painter and a nature trail through the picturesque grounds of St. Nicholas Church. 

The event is organised by Old Town Events, a group of six dedicated local volunteers who are passionate about bringing the community together.

"This event is truly by the community, for the community, with the community," said a spokesperson for the team.

"We're excited to once again fill the High Street with music and laughter." 

Look out for the organisers on the day – they will be wearing distinctive t-shirts supplied by Millaco – and feel free to ask questions or donate toward the 2026 event, which is already in the planning stages. 

And that is not all – save the date for the Old Town Lights Switch-On happening Friday 28 November 2025.
