1. Hands on History

Kenilworth Castle is running a number of 'Hands on History' events on weekends this summer - and this is the last chance you can get involved!

"Travel back to Kenilworth Castle during the summer holidays to learn what life was like for its past inhabitants," organisers said.

"From sword school and storytelling to junior jousting there will be a selection of activities each weekend for children to take part in."

2. A Monster Calls

The Talisman Theatre and Arts Centre is "thrilled to share" its upcoming production of 'A Monster Calls' on the Kenilworth stage.

Based on the multi-award-winning novel by Patrick Ness and inspired by an original idea by Siobhan Dowd this stage adaptation was devised by Sally Cookson, Adam Peck and the original company.

The devised nature of the script comes to life on stage through emotional scenes woven together via powerful physical movement sequences that creatively convey this emotional story.

The production runs until Saturday 31 August at the Barrow Road-based theatre in Kenilworth.
