1. Bix Fix
The BIG FIX is back for 2024 and once again volunteers at Kenilworth Repair Café are taking part.
The month-long event is run to inspire people to breathe new life into broken household items such as electronics, garden equipment, clothing, jewellery, clocks and much more to give them a new lease of life.
The event runs nationwide throughout May and is now in its fourth year, with 60 repair cafes taking part in 2024.
Repair Café Kenilworth will be joining in, with its next café on Saturday 18 May (2-5pm at Abbey Hill United Reformed Church).

2. Shelia's Island
The Talisman Theatre and Arts Centre is "thrilled to announce" its upcoming production of Sheila's Island by renowned playwright Tim Firth.
Set against the backdrop of a remote island in the Lake District, this comedy promises an evening of laughter, friendship, and unexpected twists.
Directed by Jill Laurie, Sheila's Island follows the story of four menopausal middle managers who find themselves stranded on an island during a team-building exercise gone awry.
Performances will run from Monday 20 May through to Saturday 25 May at the Talisman Theatre and Arts Centre, Barrow Road, Kenilworth.
