Here are our top picks for the coming days.
1. Craft Workshop at the Castle
English Heritage is hosting the first of two craft workshops at Kenilworth Castle this weekend.
Organisers said: "Join us at Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden for a wonderful craft workshop followed by a cream tea! Located in our historic stables, you will be guided, step by step, in making a beautiful, folded book vase, and a selection of paper flowers to decorate it.
"To top it all off, you can then enjoy a scrumptious cream tea in our tearooms, all included in the ticket. The cream tea we are providing is - a choice of tea or coffee with a scone with jam and clotted cream."
The workshop will be run on Saturday 24 October from 1pm to 3.30pm.

2. Live Music
Free music returns to The Tiltyard this weekend.
Oasis covers band The Masterplan will be playing on Saturday 24 October from 8.30pm.
Organisers said: "You're not going to want to miss this incredible band, come early to get a front row seat!"
3. Halloween Fun
The Halloween fun begins at Stoneleigh Abbey this weekend.
Enjoy two for one on grounds entry until October 31, and bring the little ones along to explore our beautiful historic grounds and enjoy a selection of seasonal treats and activities, including a free Halloween colouring activity pack, a Halloween picture trail around the grounds, and a Kids Halloween Afternoon Tea Box available for £7.99.
Offer starts on October 25.

4. Scarecrow Trail
Kenilworth residents are invited to get into the swing of things this half term, as a local primary school launches its annual scarecrow trail.
Running from Friday 16 October to Sunday 1 November, the Musicals Scarecrow Trail from Priors Field Primary School promises a fun-filled outdoor adventure for families, with plenty of familiar faces to spot along the way.
From the yellow brick road to a practically perfect nanny, visitors who purchase a trail map can expect a star-studded line-up of musical icons from the stage and screen.
A cast of 22 scarecrows take centre stage along a circular route through the residential streets of north west Kenilworth, which borders open countryside and the charming cafes and pubs of historic old town.
