Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. Spitfire at the Grand Show

A Spitfire flypast will be one of the highlights as Kenilworth Lions Grand Show returns to Abbey Fields this Saturday (June 10).

The free annual show will see a variety of food and drink providers along with entertainment from the music stage, interspersed with a number of arena events.

The event is an opportunity for the Lions to thank the town for the support given throughout the year, which so far has seen the charity raise nearly £90,000 this year.

The afternoon kicks off at 12.30pm and the flypast is expected at 3.04pm.

2. Gin Evening

Head to Kenilworth's new distillery this Friday (June 9) 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!'

"There is no other venue quite like it in Warwickshire!"

3. Windmill Open

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

There will be live music on site throughout the day and cream teas and other refreshments will be on sale.

Doors will be open from 12pm to 4pm - tickets available on the door! £5 cash adults, £1 under 16's and free for under 12's - includes a guided tour.

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.
