Here are our top picks for the coming days.
1. Knights' Tournament
Go back in time and get up close to the action as rival knights compete in the ultimate test of strength and skill at the Knights' Tournament at Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden.
Four armoured knights and their squires will clash in four gruelling rounds, and you'll be transported back to the 13th century as you experience the pageantry, excitement and action of the fearsome tournaments that took place at Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden in days gone by.
Don't miss one of history's most spectacular sporting contests this weekend!
Running from Saturday 23 August to Monday 25.
2. The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)
Celebrations around the 450th anniversary of Elizabeth I's visit to Kenilworth continue this week at the Talisman Theatre.
And it is Shakespeare like you have never seen it before!
Organisers said: "This fast-firing adaptation of the Bard's works does just that, as it parodies all of Shakespeare's plays (plus the sonnets!) with only three performers in two acts.
"Packed with high-energy antics and smart use of costume, this frenetic, clever and contemporary comedy will have you engaged throughout."
Running from Monday 25 August to Saturday 30.
3. Old Town Festival
The popular Old Town Festival makes its much-anticipated return to Kenilworth High Street on Sunday 24 August 2025, promising a full day of free live music, food, and family fun right in the heart of the community.
From 12pm to 9pm, festivalgoers will enjoy back-to-back performances from 10 local bands across two stages, filling the streets with music and atmosphere.
"Whether you're a rock enthusiast or love an acoustic vibe, there's something for everyone," organisers said.
4. Castle Hill Fest
Returning once again this bank holiday Monday is Castle Hill Fest!
Running from 10am to 6pm the popular community event returns with a bang on Monday 25 August.
Local businesses will be joining together once again for a day of fun, food and music.
