Here are our top picks for the coming days.

1. Food Festival

There is just over a week to go until the popular Kenilworth Food Festival returns for 2025.

And this year the community event is switching its usual base on Warwick Road for Abbey Fields as it returns on Sunday 27 July.

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.

And new for 2025 is a 'drop in' chocolate workshop where guests can "have fun and be creative using sprinkles and Belgian chocolate".

2. Queen E Rocks

The Talisman Theatre is "delighted to announce" the return of the "brilliantly unpredictable" Made in 48 Hours theatre company - with its brand-new musical comedy Queen E Rocks!, taking to the main stage for one night only on Sunday 27 July 2025.

This lively, musical retelling of Queen Elizabeth I's reign is packed with comedy, chaos and a live band, as the cast and crew race against the clock to create and stage a brand-new show in just 48 hours.

As ever, the team will receive their script on Friday evening, prepare through Saturday, and perform on Sunday – ready or not!

Part of the town-wide celebrations marking 450 years since Elizabeth I's famous 1575 visit to Kenilworth Castle, this irreverent tribute adds a brilliantly modern twist to the town's historic anniversary programme.
