Hosted by Kenilworth Town Council and CJ's Events Warwickshire, the market will run at Abbey End from 10am to 4pm.

Santa and his elf will be in the Christmas Grotto to meet families, who can also make the most of Christmas games throughout the day.

2. Food Takeovers

East Chase Distillers is turning up the Christmas cheer this weekend with a "spectacular" three-day tapas takeover — and you are invited.

Kenilworth's award-winning independent distillery is welcoming back the much-loved Tapas Zampa for a full weekend of irresistible Spanish flavours, "perfectly paired" with ECD's premium, handcrafted spirits.

In a first for the venue, the takeover will not be limited to Friday night. Instead, guests can indulge all weekend long, Friday 5 December from 5pm and on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 from 2pm.
