Here are our top picks for the coming days.
1. Backstairs Billy
The Talisman Theatre and Arts Centre is inviting audiences behind the doors of the Queen Mother's official residence, serving its newest production - Backstairs Billy.
Marcelo Dos Santos' script is "brought to life" by director Steve Smith in a story of rivalries, affairs, chaotic tea parties and one unlikely friendship.
In the sheltered world of Clarence House, the Queen Mother has appointed her long-serving butler William 'Billy' Tallon as her "Page of the Backstairs"– one of the highest honours bestowed on a royal servant.
As Billy takes on a young prodigy, Gwydion, he must also fend off Mr Kerr, a jealous private secretary who will stop at nothing to see Billy fall from grace.
As events spiral out of control, this "hilarious but heartfelt play will attend to your every need".
Backstairs Billy runs at the Talisman Theatre, Kenilworth. Showtimes are at 7.30pm each evening, 13 to 18 April.
2. Easter Quest
Easter Holiday fun continues at Kenilworth Castle this weekend.
The adventure quest runs until Sunday 19 April and gives young explorers the chance to hunt for eggs through the school holidays.
Organisers said: "This Easter holiday, join us for a fun-filled adventure quest! Follow the Easter trail, hunt for eggs and answer questions along the way to earn a delicious chocolate reward."
3. Big Quiz
This Saturday (April 11) is the return of Radio Abbey's Big Quiz!
Tickets include a Ploughman's Sharing Platter and you can bring your own drinks.
From music and literature to news and local knowledge and everything in between!
