East Chase Distillers at East Chase Farm is open to guests every Friday afternoon and evening from 4pm.

Why not go and try the Heritage Gin or new Citrus Orange flavour!

And you can enjoy your drink and nibbles right next to the world leader Holstein Still - which has recently been named 'Stilly McStillface!'

2. Live Music

There is live music at the Ale Rooms yet again this Friday (May 12) in the form of Miss Sterious.

The award-winning local singer-songwriter will be bringing her music to the Smalley Place venue from 9pm.

3. Beekeeping

With World Bee Day coming up in May, a beekeeping taster day will be held at Kings Hill Nurseries (between Coventry and Kenilworth) on Saturday (May 13).

This is a day-long event aimed at informing attendees about bees in the environment and also to provide an overview of what beekeeping involves.

It covers where bees can be kept, the equipment required, the cost and time involved, what the beekeeper has to do throughout the year.

If interested in finding out more about this fascinating hobby, please contact us at [email protected].

4. Windmill Open

Head to Berkswell Windmill this Saturday (May 12) for the tourist attraction's latest open day!

There will be live music on site throughout the day.

Doors will be open from 12pm to 4pm - tickets available on the door!

The windmill was built in 1826 on the site of a former post mill.

Jeanette McGarry acquired the 19th century four-bladed tower mill back in 2005 and spent over £200,000 restoring it to its former glory with the help of English Heritage after it fell into a state of disrepair.
