Here are our top picks for the coming days.

1. Talisman Fringe

It's a celebration of poetry at Talisman Fringe tonight (October 1).

Organisers said: "Prepare yourself for a cacophony of verse, rhyme, rhythm and imagination as we welcome local poets to the Fringe stage to share their words with us.

"Poetry can make us laugh, move us, challenge us and see the world in a completely different way. From the beautifully crafted to the wonderfully unexpected, this Fringe is all about celebrating the power of words and the people brave enough to put them out there.

"Come along and support local poets as they take to the stage, share their work and give us an opportunity to hear voices and stories from our own community."

Shows run at the Holiday Inn at 7.30pm and 9pm.

2. Live Music

MAAR heads to the Treehouse Bookshop on Friday (October 2) for a night of live music

MAAR is the latest endeavour from long-time collaborators and friends Ösp Eldjárn, Valeria Pozzo, and Helga Ragnars.

Two-thirds Icelandic, one-third Italian, the trio first crossed paths in London in 2011, when a chance house-share sparked a lasting musical connection.

MAAR's music is characterised by three-part vocal harmonies, intimate lyrics, and acoustic instrumentation.

3. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Kenilworth's Talisman Theatre is set to bring 'one of the most acclaimed plays of recent years to the stage' this Autumn with 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time', Simon Stephens' remarkable adaptation of Mark Haddon's best-selling novel.

The production also marks the directorial debut of Sharon Sully, who takes on one of contemporary theatre's most imaginative and emotionally powerful plays for her first production in the director's chair.

The play became a theatrical phenomenon when the National Theatre's original production transferred to the West End, winning an extraordinary seven Olivier Awards, including Best New Play, Best Director and Best Actor.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time runs at The Talisman Theatre from Monday 28 September to Saturday 3 October 2026 at 7:30pm.
