All members of the public are invited to attend Warwick's Mayor Making Ceremony next week.

On Thursday 22 May from 6.30pm Warwick Town Council will hold its Annual Meeting of the town council which includes Warwick Mayor Making (the inauguration of the town's new mayor).

The new Mayor of Warwick will be Cllr Jackie D'Arcy.

This year the meeting and ceremony will be held at St Mary's church, Warwick.

"It is a historical setting fitting for the inauguration of the Mayor of Warwick as First Citizen of Warwick, a role steeped in tradition and ceremony that dates back to 1664," the council said.

The Mayor of Warwick attends both historic and contemporary events, meet with individuals, organisations, and communities to recognise their contribution to the town, and to uphold civic pride in Warwick.

The mayor can be invited to attend events which have a community-inclusive or town-wide significance.

The Mayor's diary is co-ordinated by Angela Clarke at the town council - email: [email protected]
