Jamie Walker of CJ's Events Warwickshire said: "We're thrilled to be bringing back the Autumn & Christmas Markets to Leamington Spa in partnership with Warwick District Council.

"The markets have become a cherished event in our community and have grown in popularity over the past few years.

"The market is surrounded by a range of wonderful independent and national stores to explore. It's a great chance to support local businesses while enjoying a fun, family-friendly day out.

"This Sunday to kick start the markets, we've got a group of wonderful alpacas who will be wandering the market between 11am and 3pm."

Leamington Christmas Lights Switch On has been confirmed for Sunday, 17 November, with not only a market, but a fun fair, live entertainment and a visit from Father Christmas.
