1. The return of Warwick Mop

Warwick Mop is set to return this week.

The historic event returns to the town centre on Friday 17 October and Saturday 18.

The runaway mop will then be held the following weekend.

The annual event, which is said to date back to the reign of Edward III, is hosted on the Friday and Saturday, with the 'Runaway Mop' held the following Friday and Saturday (24 to 25).

On both weekends the fair will take over Market Place and the rest of the town centre as stalls and a fun fayre descend on the town.

Roads will be closed over both weekends - more details to follow.

3. Turn Warwick Pink for Cancer Research UK

Shop windows, salons, and streets across Leamington and Warwick are glowing pink for Cancer Research UK, this week.

It comes as part of the community-led awareness campaign, Turn Leamington and Warwick Pink, which runs until 19 October and is being driven by a passionate group of volunteers at Warwick and Leamington Spa Cancer Research UK committee.

Chair of the Leamington Spa and Warwick Cancer Research UK Committee, Deborah Barleggs expressed: "The idea is, businesses and retailers across the towns can decorate their premises, their offices, their buildings, and really focus on pink merchandise if they like." 

There's still time to experience the pink takeover and support fundraising efforts.

In Warwick, you can visit Smith Street, where there are some "impressive pink window displays" and local businesses supporting the cause.

Nearby in Leamington, there is a craft fair in the Royal Priors this weekend and a fantastic choir performing at midday on Saturday (18 October)."
