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. The National Motorhome, Campervan & Camping Show
Be part of something big - the launch of The National Motorhome, Campervan & Camping Exhibition, a brand-new indoor event for 2026 held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, from 17 to 19 April 2026.
This exciting new show marks the start of an ambitious journey to create the UK's largest indoor exhibition for the motorhome, campervan and camping community.
Designed to bring together every corner of the industry, The National will grow year on year - making Stoneleigh Park the home of the UK's flagship outdoor leisure exhibition.
3. Repair Café
This Saturday (April 18) marks the return of Repair Café!
Get your broken items fixed and give them a second life.
Organisers said: "How did the Easter holidays go? Did your bikes work, were your garden tools sharpen enough? Did your Spring clean reveal a host of broken items? Our brilliant team of volunteers will be on hand, in between eating cake, to help you repair rather than replace your items.
"Remember if you can carry it in or pedal it, we'll certainly have a look at it. The team have skills in DIY repairs, electrical and electronics, toys, bicycles, simple sewing and jewellery, and will be available to help you to fix your clean, portable items. We can't promise to mend everything but at least together we can have a good go to keep stuff out of landfill."
