What's On in Kenilworth is brought to you by our sponsors the Talisman Theatre, CJ's Events Warwickshire, East Chase Distillers and Rumours Hair & Beauty

Here is our list of top picks for events in Kenilworth this weekend.

If your business or organisation is running an event, you can advertise it for free with Kenilworth Nub News.

Simply follow this link to our What's On section and click the black 'Nub It' button to get started.

And don't forget - Kenilworth Market runs at Abbey End every Thursday from 9am to 3pm.

Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. Pumpkin Picking - for Adults

Head to Hatton Adventure World this Saturday (October 21) for night time pumpkin picking!

Visitors will have to weave through the creepy cabins with live actors as they make their way to the pumpkin field to pick their choice in the dark to take home.

There will also be live music, as well as the Bewitching Bar selling alcoholic drinks and street food selling fish and chips and other snacks including toasted marshmallows.

Although children are admitted, this event is primarily aimed at adults, and it is not recommended to bring young children along to this event.

2. Gin Evening

Head to Kenilworth's new distillery this Friday (October 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 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!'

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. Live Steam

Local residents will be able to see steam power in action on the mainline this Sunday (October 22) as The Shakespeare Express makes its way through South Warwickshire again.

The express will travel from Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon twice during the day.

On each trip the express - hauled by either 7029 Clun Castle or 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe - will pass south through Henley-in-Arden, returning through Hatton on the journey back into Birmingham.
