A full schedule has been announced as Warwick gets set to host a festival site for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games this summer.

Organisers announced last month that the town would be one of ten West Midlands locations to have a dedicated festival site.

And with just two weeks to go until the opening ceremony of the games, Warwickshire County Council has released a full timetable of events for the Market Place community area.

From Thursday 28 July to Monday 8 August a big screen will be in place, and the site will be open for free from 10am to 10pm.

Warwick Market will still run, but will be reduced in size.

Activities including circus skills, table tennis and crazy golf will all be on offer - as well as sport on the big screen.

Throughout the week the site will be visited by other organisations promoting services in Warwickshire like Wellbeing for Life, Child Friendly Warwickshire, Warwickshire Cycling Buddies and the IndieGo PLUS demand responsive transport.

Another site will also be set up at the Pump Room Gardens in Royal Leamington Spa.

Cllr Heather Timms said: "We are very happy to be working with our partners at Warwick District Council to deliver these festival sites for the duration of the Commonwealth Games.

"The sites in Warwick and Leamington will bring the excitement of the games to our residents and let them be a part of this once in a generation spectacle of sport and entertainment. From the opening ceremony on Thursday 28 July to its close on Monday 8 August, we hope as many of our residents as possible come out to enjoy the carnival atmosphere at our live sites."
