Here are our top picks for the coming days.
1. Art Trail
Kenilworth Art Society is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year and has launched a free event to help celebrate this summer.
The society has devised a family-friendly Art Trail throughout the school summer holidays starting on 18 July.
Works of art will be displayed in 26 different shops, businesses and organisations around Kenilworth along Warwick Road and the High Street.
At each location there will be a painting or drawing by one of our members, as well as some information about the art work and its artist.
The trail includes a child-friendly quiz that will be available from Kenilworth Library, the Creative Café on the High Street, and the website.
The trail will be formally opened in the presence of the town's mayor, Cllr Alison Insley, at 2.30pm at Kenilworth Library on Friday July 17.

2. Repair Cafe
This Saturday (July 18) marks the return of Repair Café!
Get your broken items fixed and give them a second life.
Organisers said: "How is the gardening going, need your secateurs sharpening.
"Are you pedal ready for the summer holidays? Have you found parasols that need mending during the heatwave? Let's see if we can help you repair rather than replace those items.
"Of course, our brilliant team of volunteers will be on hand, in between eating cake, to help you fix things.
"Remember if you can carry it in or pedal it, we'll certainly have a look at it."

3. Duck Race
A "fantastic afternoon of fun" is in store as the Stoneleigh Village Annual Duck Race on Saturday, 18 July!
The festivities begin at 1pm, with plenty to see and do before the duck race gets underway at 3pm.
Organisers said: "Browse a wide variety of stalls, enjoy delicious food and drink, be entertained throughout the afternoon, and take a ride on the tractor.
"You can also visit the Stoneleigh History Society in the Leigh Chapel at Stoneleigh Church, where tea and cake will be served."
