Warwick's popular Victorian Evening returns on Thursday 27 November, offering visitors the chance to step back in time and experience the sights, sounds and smells of a Victorian Christmas.

Starting from 3pm with a Victorian market in the Square and rides and entertainment around the town centre, the performances get underway on the stage at 5pm, with the lights being switched on at 7pm by the Mayor of Warwick, Cllr Jackie D'Arcy.

Parking will be free in all Warwick District Council off-street car parks in Warwick from 12pm on Thursday 27 November to support the event. On-street parking charges will still apply.

Cllr Ella Billiald, Portfolio Holder for Arts, Culture and Economy, said: "We're delighted to deliver these events on behalf of the District's towns, providing an entertaining space for friends and families to come together and celebrate the festive season.

"I would like to thank our Business Support and Events team, the Town Councils and our many partners who work tirelessly each year to make these events a great success.

"Not only do these events provide a sense of community and belonging, they are also a great support for our local businesses throughout the Christmas period. We look forward to welcoming you to our town centres for a season of celebration."

Taking place from 16 to 30 November, Kenilworth, Leamington, Whitnash, and surrounding villages will also each host their light switch-on events with a fantastic selection of entertainment, music, food, and seasonal stalls.

Parking will be free in all Warwick District Council off-street car parks in Leamington from 8am on Sunday 16 November to support the event.
