Here are our top picks for the coming days.

1. Big Brick Build

This Easter holiday, families are invited to take part in an "incredible" LEGO® Big Brick Build session at Kenilworth Castle as it returns for a second year.

First held in 2024, the event was a big success and now returns to the town's main tourist attraction from Saturday 12 April to Monday 21.

The Big Brick Build gives guests the chance to get a "unique new perspective" on the castle's historical architecture.

Children over four years-old can get creative by designing their own part of Kenilworth's Elizabethan Garden to sit within a LEGO® brick sculpture of the castle's most famous features.

2. Enchanted April

Final tickets remain for the latest mainstage production at the Talisman Theatre - Enchanted April.

Running from Monday, 14 April to Saturday, 19 April 2025, this "enchanting play" promises to transport audiences from the drabness of post-war England to the sun-drenched terraces of a medieval Italian castle.

Set in the aftermath of the Great War, Enchanted April follows Lotty Wilton and Rose Arnott, two London housewives trapped in unfulfilling marriages and the monotony of 1920s England. 

An advertisement in The Times sparks a daring idea: to rent a castle in Italy for a month-long retreat. 

Joined by the formidable Mrs. Graves and the spirited Lady Caroline Bramble, the quartet embarks on a transformative journey.

3. Repair Cafe

It is the third Saturday of the month this weekend so it's Repair Cafe and the chance to get your broken items fixed.

"Remember if you can carry it in or pedal it, we'll have a look at it," organisers said.

"Our brilliant volunteers with skills in DIY repairs, electrical and electronics, toys, bicycles, simple sewing and jewellery, 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.

"We can also offer small garden tool sharpening although this will be limited to two items per person this month!"
