Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. Classic Cars

The centre of Warwick is set to be taken over by over 140 vintage motors later this August as the Classic Car Show returns to town.

The event, which began back in 2010, is now run by Warwick Court Leet and will return to Market Place on Sunday, August 18.

Unlike regular car shows the event is completely free to attend for both spectators and owners displaying their vehicles.

All motors on display must have been built before 1990.

2. Dungeon Tour

Fancy learning more about a lesser-known slice of Warwick's history?

Head to Shire Hall on Monday 19 August to discover over 300 years of trials, judgements and imprisonments.

See the civil and criminal courts, holding cells and the 17th century dungeon. Hear how justice was handed down in the past.

3. Live Music

There will be live music aplenty at Warwick's Tilted Wig this weekend.

Head down to the Market Place venue on Friday to hear Ade Beaumont play a fantastic set of crowd favourites.

Or if you prefer to go out on Saturday, Jack Hopkinson will be at the Wig for a night of "cool classics".

4. Warwickshire Pride

And last but not least - Warwickshire Pride will return to Leamington Spa this weekend.

Pride will start on Saturday 17 August at 11am with the march leaving Beauchamp Road, turning onto Clarendon Avenue and then the Parade.

The festival will then take place in the Pump Room Gardens where there will be food and drink from around the world, a dog show and much more.

The event will run until 6pm and is completely free to attend.

This year’s theme is once again Pride Is A Protest!
