1. Big Brick Build

Bring history to life at the new 'Big Brick Build' at Kenilworth Castle

For the first time, families can put their toy brick-building skills to the test at Kenilworth Castle by building a garden fit for a queen – as Robert Dudley tried to do to impress Elizabeth I more than 450 years ago.

Once visitors have worked their magic, the Castle’s brick builders will put the creations together, creating an amazing mini version of the gardens, for all to enjoy.

The Big Brick Build runs between Friday 29 March and Sunday 7 April, 10am to 5pm.

2. Tales From the Riverbank

All aboard the new 'Tales from the Riverbank' exhibition at Market Hall Museum, Warwick

This free exhibition launched on Friday 23 March and explores the unexpected and extraordinary stories of life on (and in!) Warwickshire’s rivers, canals and waterways – looking at modern water predators such as pikes, otters and water birds that are the descendants of dinosaurs, ancient sharks and sawfish.

The exhibition also explores William Shakespeare’s relationship with Warwickshire’s waterways, and features celebrity costumes from the Royal Shakespeare Company worn by Dame Judi Dench and David Tennant.

The exhibition is open until Saturday 18 January 2025.
