Here are our top picks for the coming days.
1. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
This spring, the monster rises again – but this time, it is Mary Shelley who tells the tale.
Local audiences are invited to experience a bold and captivating new production of 'Mary Shelley's Frankenstein', adapted for the stage by acclaimed writer Rona Munro, and presented by Talisman Theatre & Arts Centre at Barrow Road, Kenilworth.
Far from the usual gothic cliché, this version puts the author herself at the heart of the action.
As Mary Shelley (played by Elysia Sully) wrestles with the terrifying ideas taking shape in her imagination, we see a young woman defy the expectations of her era – and conjure one of the most enduring horror stories of all time.
Joining Shelley on stage are Adam Turner, as the tormented scientist Victor Frankenstein, and Jack Ives, as the heart-wrenching and haunting Monster, whose plea to be loved still echoes powerfully today.
'Mary Shelley's Frankenstein' runs from Monday 19 to Saturday 24 May 2025 at the Talisman Theatre, Kenilworth. Showtimes are at 7:30pm each evening.
2. Saturday Signing
It's a busy day at Kenilworth Books this Saturday (May 24) with two signing sessions!
Come and meet author Penny Batchelor, who will be signing copies of her new thriller 'The Woman Next Door'.
That will be followed with another local author in Julia Rawlinson who will be launching her new book, 'Fletcher and the Bee'.
"Join us for colouring and crafting to celebrate the publication of Julia Rawlinson's new book and World Bee Day!" organisers said.
3. Warwick Food Festival
As well as Kenilworth's regular Thursday market, CJ's Events Warwickshire is also running Warwick Food Festival on Sunday 25 May.
Head to St Nicholas Park for a day of food, drinks and fun.
CJ's said: "Get ready to feast on a huge selection of your favourite food and drink, plus plenty of chances to try something new!
