2. Live Steam

Residents will be able to see steam power in action on the mainline this weekend as the 'Capital Christmas Express' travels through Warwickshire.

Organised by the Railway Touring Company, the express will head through the county twice as it makes the return journey from Chester to London Paddington on Saturday (November 25).

The Railway Touring Company's website says: "After picking up at Birmingham New Street, we take the suburban lines through to Bordesley where we will join the former GWR main line route from Birmingham Snow Hill to Oxford and London Paddington.

"Our last pick up station will be Solihull before we reach Warwick and descend Hatton Bank.

"Next is the Warwickshire town of Royal Leamington Spa.

"We should now start to get up speed on the long rural stretch of line through to Banbury, where we will continue to follow the main line to Oxford."

3. Film Premiere

The cast and crew behind a film shot in Kenilworth will head to a local theatre for its premiere this weekend.

Dirty Dutch will be shown for the first time at the Talisman Theatre on Saturday 25 November.

The "wild comedy mockumentary" was filmed around the town and offers a satirical look into the world of movie-making.

It's best described as a blend of "The Office," and "Extras," with a sprinkle of "Hot Fuzz".
