Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. Gin Evening

Head to Kenilworth's new distillery this Saturday (January 20) to try some of the new gins right next to where they are produced.

East Chase Distillers at East Chase Farm is open to guests from 3pm.

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!'

The team said: "Come and experience the unique atmosphere of East Chase Distillery at East Chase Farm in Kenilworth. Every Friday, we open our doors at 4pm to guests who are interested in sampling our gin, right where it is produced. You can even sample the new flavours that are about to be released.

"Indulge in an afternoon or evening of drinks, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Warwickshire. If you are not a gin fan we have beer, cider, wine and soft drinks.

"While booking is not essential, we highly recommend it to ensure that you secure your spot and avoid any disappointment. 

"So gather your friends and join us at East Chase Distillery for a memorable experience."

3. Repair Café

Head to Abbey Hill United Reform Church on Saturday for the first Kenilworth Repair Café of 2024 - running from 2pm to 5pm.

Organisers said: "Remember if you can carry it in or pedal it, we'll have a look at it.

"Our brilliant volunteers with skills in DIY repairs, electrical and electronics, toys, bicycles, simple sewing and jewellery, will be available to help you to fix your clean, portable items.

"Garden tool sharpening also available. We can't promise to mend everything but at least together we can have a go to keep stuff out of landfill.

"We don't charge so a small donation is greatly appreciated. Last repair is taken in at 4.30pm."
