2026 is the second year the popular community event will be heading to Abbey Fields, having swapped its usual Warwick Road base last time around.
Organised by CJ's Events Warwickshire, the festival will bring the same huge number of food and drink stalls as well as live music throughout the day on Sunday 26 July.
The free festival starts at 11am and runs until 5pm.
This year also features The Teenage Market which provides young people with a free platform to showcase their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and talents.

2. Fun at The Almanack
This Friday (July 24) promises to be a night of fun at The Almanack.
A night of big tunes, great food and cold drinks is in store as Scott Martin will be performing live from 7-11pm bringing a night of Oasis.
AND it is World Tequila day. To mark it, The Almanack is offering special loaded nachos with every a jug of margarita to celebrate!

3. Great British Summer
This summer, English Heritage's Kenilworth Castle invites visitors to enjoy a Great British Summer (18 July – 28 August), celebrating the timeless joy of traditional holidays and pastimes remembered fondly by generations.
From seaside staples such as ice creams and fairground games, circus skills and deck chairs, puppet shows and sandcastle building, the summer events at Kenilworth Castle showcase many of the experiences associated with a classic British summer.
Plus, kids can collect a limited-edition postcard by renowned children's illustrators Nick Sharratt or Sir Quentin Blake, grab a souvenir passport and collect special stamps to complete their summer adventure.
