Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. Live Steam

Local residents will be able to see steam power in action on the mainline this Sunday (June 30) as The Shakespeare Express makes its way through South Warwickshire again.

The express will travel from Worcester to Stratford-upon-Avon twice during the day.

On each trip the express - hauled by either 7029 Clun Castle or 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe - will pass south through Henley-in-Arden, returning through Claverdon on the journey back into Birmingham.

2. Weird Walk

Returning this weekend is the Weird Walk of Warwick!

A 90-minute walking tour of Warwick town centre, heading to famous locations, hidden secrets and historic buildings, where your guide tells you of the gory murders, terrifying ghost stories, astonishing myths and famous faces from history that have taken place in Warwick over the years.

3. Covent Garden Quarter Market

And why not head down to the road to Leamington on Sunday (June 30) for the return of the Covent Garden Quarter Market.

Organisers CJ's said: "The vibrant colours and intricate designs of the artisan wares draw you in, inviting you to explore and uncover the stories behind each handcrafted piece. 

"From the gleaming pottery pieces that catch the sunlight to the delicate lace and embroidered textiles, every corner of the market is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered.

"The passionate makers and growers are eager to share their crafts and the local traditions that inspire them, creating a truly immersive and authentic experience. 

"Whether you're here to stock up on the season's finest produce, treat yourself or find that perfect one-of-a-kind item to take home, the Covent Garden Quarter Markets promise to delight and inspire."

4. World of Park & Leisure Show

Fancy a wonderful, FREE day out ?  

Warwickshire residents are invited to come and discover a completely new lifestyle at the World of Park & Leisure Homes Show this June. 

Running over four days, this major industry event will see part of the NAEC Stoneleigh completely transformed into a mini Leisure Park Site, with over 50 park homes and lodges available for guests to look around. 

The outdoor show, which has been running for over 30 years, will give visitors the chance to explore a range of luxury lodges, Residential Park Homes and other quirky options right down to tiny homes - and everything in-between! 

The World of Park & Leisure Homes Show is your "chance to discover a whole new, affordable, secure and increasingly popular" leisure lifestyle for today, and a completely different retirement option for the future.
