Here are our top picks for the coming days.

1. Two Castles

Residents are being encouraged to line the streets on Sunday morning (June 9) to cheer on the 4,500 runners taking part in the Two Castles Run.

The annual event organised by the Rotary Club of Kenilworth and Leamington Cycling and Athletic Club will see runners complete the 10km distance between Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle.

The route will take the 4,500 runners from the centre of Warwick, through Leek Wootton and onto Kenilworth where they will finish in the grounds of the castle.

This weekend will be the 40th year of the race, with entrants raising money for causes of their own choice.

2. Grand Show

Organisers have announced the full details as Kenilworth Lions' Grand Show returns to Abbey Fields on Saturday (June 8).

The town centre park will be taken over by live bands, stalls, dancing and food and drink from 12.30pm.

There will also be a display of vintage Alvis and Morgan cars taking part in the free event in Abbey Fields.

And a number of local businesses including The Warwickshire, Harringtons on the Hill and East Chase Distillers have all donated to the raffle.

3. Talisman Fringe

It's the first Thursday of the month which means it is time for Talisman Fringe at the Holiday Inn!

June's theme is 'Just for Laughs'.

James Harris will be hosting this night of mirth and merriment, providing some slices of Stand-Up in between a feast of World Premieres.

As always there will be two performances - one at 7.30pm and one at 9pm.
