Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. Kenilworth Food Festival

Kenilworth Food Festival will bring more than 100 traders to the town centre on Sunday (July 30) for the major community event.

Running from 10am to 5pm, the town centre event will include stalls from local breweries and wineries, and from tapas to giant-sized burgers.

Festival goers will also be treated to live music throughout the day on a temporary stage.

And there will also be an arts and crafts market in Talisman Square throughout the day.

2. Ibiza Night Sundown

After the food festival is over, why not head to the Holiday Inn for the Ibiza Night Sundown!

Head to the Abbey End venue for a night of Ibiza-style cocktails at the outside terrace bar.

There will also be a DJ from Kasbah in Coventry to keep the party going at the Abbey End venue.

The event will get underway at the hotel's Clock Tower Café from 5pm, with the bar team serving drinks until 10pm.

3. Legendary Joust

The Legendary Joust will return to Kenilworth Castle between 29 and 30 July.

Four riders will charge at each other with lances, all in the hope of securing the support of the crowds.

Ella Harrison, event manager at English Heritage said: "Every year we love seeing how our visitors immerse themselves in our events.

"Families pick their favourite knight they want to win in a content and all ages have a go at our activities too. It's a fantastic atmosphere and a really engaging way for us for tell some of history's richest stories at Kenilworth Castle."

4. Gin, Tonic & Tales

A Kenilworth gin distiller is set to open up about his time in the UK Special Forces at a special event this weekend.

East Chase Distillers co-founder Richie Bartle will take guests through a "raw and personal" account of life in the armed forces - over a glass or two of Heritage Gin.

Having started his career in the Royal Marines, Richie then entered the selection process to join the Special Forces at the age of just 22.

And there are still tickets remaining for ECD Gin, Tonic & Tales evening on Saturday, July 29.

5. Councillor Surgery

Saturday 29 July, 10.30 am – 12.30 pm at Jubilee House
