3. Gin Evening

Head to Kenilworth's new distillery this Saturday (September23) 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."

A 'Memorial Melee' is set to be hosted at Kenilworth Sporting this weekend in the memory of much-loved members of the local community.

Nomades Petanque Club will host the memorial event for Geoff Harris and Peter Dennis at Kenilworth Sporting on Saturday (November 11).

Mr Harris, who passed away on August 11 aged 77, spent nearly four decades running local firm Coventry Plumbing and Heating Supplies, and was the driving force in launching Kenilworth Sporting at Gypsy Lane.

Mr Dennis was a life member of Nomades Pétanque Club and played right up to his death at the age of 93 this year.

The charity day will feature a raffle and mid-morning brunch as well as friendly competition.
