Here are our top picks for the coming days.

1. Live Steam

Local residents will be able to see steam power in action on the mainline this Sunday (July 14) as The Shakespeare Express makes its way through South Warwickshire again.

The express will travel from Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon twice during the day.

It will pass through through Henley-in-Arden on its journeys south and through Claverdon when it travels north.

On each trip the express - hauled by either 7029 Clun Castle or 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe - will pass south through Henley-in-Arden, returning through Hatton on the journey back into Birmingham.

2. ALSO Festival

More than 100 events have been added to the line-up for ALSO Festival's upcoming 11th edition: ALSO24, taking place 12 - 14 July at Park Farm, Compton Verney, Warwickshire.

This year's theme of Heavenly Bodies sets out to create a magical, immersive festival experience akin to heaven on earth.

Set lakeside in 50 acres of Capability Brown landscaped gardens in Warwickshire, ALSO Festival offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the world around you with hundreds of transformative events.

With so much to learn, do and explore, ALSO festival guests can curate their own unique festival adventure – from learning about people and the universe, to trying new activities, filling the weekend with relaxation, wellness and fantastic food, discover your new favourite comedian, or dancing until the early hours.

3. Motown

It is time for live music again this Saturday (13 July) at the Wyandotte Inn.

The latest event in a series of music nights sees Sky@Night perform at the Stoneleigh Road venue.

Sky@Night Soul & Motown are described as "an enigmatic and energetic music ensemble".

Recently featured at Kenilworth Carnival, they will bring a night of classic Soul and Motown from 8pm.
