Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. House Party

A group of local DJs will once again takeover a Kenilworth pub to raise money for local charities.

Last year, DJ Matt Despilia decided to take his successful radio show and podcast, The House Party, on the road to a live audience and gathered other DJs and guests from his show to join him on the journey.

The tour started at the Ale Rooms at Smalley Place in June with an all-day party and will return there on March 25 as the spring show returns to town.

Featuring resident DJ's Matt Despilia, Ross Moran, MIX5TA and DJ Vy playing uplifting house grooves on a 10k sound system.

The party will also be broadcast worldwide on JustHouseMusic online radio, available on the TuneIn app or via the station website Justhousemusic.co.uk

And best of all, the event is free!

2. Operation Mincemeat

Cinema nights at the Talisman Theatre and Arts Centre are back for 2023, with Operation Mincemeat coming to the big screen on Saturday, March 25.

Starring Colin Firth, the film tells the extraordinary true story of an idea that altered the course of the Second World War.

It's 1943. The Allies are determined to break Hitler's grip on occupied Europe, and plan an all-out assault on Sicily; but they face an impossible challenge - how to protect a massive invasion force from potential massacre.

It falls to two remarkable intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen) to dream the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war - centred on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man.

The showing begins at 7.30 pm.

3. Dark Side of the Moon

A live celebration of the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album will be hosted by local musicians at Warwick's St Mary's Church this Thursday (March 23)

The Old Square church will welcome audiences for the free event run by St Mary's organ scholar Colin Millington, who has assembled a cast of local musicians to perform the classic album in its entirety.

Through discussion with a teaching colleague, Nick Jones (of Archways Drum School in Leamington), Colin changed his focus to presenting the album with a full live band, but still featuring the church organ.

St Mary's Church will host the Dark Side of the Moon concert on March 23 and entry is free!

Nick recruited fellow members of local long-standing covers band KTO, Chris Johnson (lead guitar and vocals), Alex Davis (bass) and Nick Johnson (keys and vocals) for the ambitious project, with other guest musicians to be confirmed.

The event is free entry (no ticket required) and starts at 8pm, with doors opening a little earlier.
