On Saturday in Talisman Square, the Mayor of Kenilworth, Cllr Alison Insley officially launched the Kenilworth Advent Calendar.

Cllr Insley was assisted by Sharon Maxted, acting president for SI Kenilworth and District, and Lis Stevens, the Kenilworth Lions president. Sir Jeremy Wright MP also came to support them.

Costing £5, the calendar will be on sale throughout November, giving residents 96 chances in December to win one of the great prizes donated by generous local businesses, including the star prize of a fabulous Diamond and Ruby necklace from James Moore & Co.

The project was made possible with support from ten "amazing" sponsors, shown on the calendar front.

Open a window each day during advent to reveal the day's prizes, then check for your unique calendar number (top right corner) via the calendar website www.kenilworthadventcalendar.co.uk by hovering over the virtual door, or look at the list on the noticeboard in Talisman Square between Costa Coffee and The Works or in Kenilworth Books.

When your number matches one of the four randomly drawn numbers revealed each day, you win a prize ranging from restaurant meals to massages and many things between.

Calendars can also be bought from Kenilworth Books; Tree House Book Shop; Kenilworth Centre; Fossato Lounge and the Myton Hospice shop, or buy a virtual Calendar from the website and perhaps send to a friend.

All profits will be divided between six "very deserving" local charities - Compassionate Kenilworth, Talisman Youth Theatre, Priory Youth Theatre, Myton Hospice, Kenilworth Centre, Warwickshire Refuge.
