Warwick Mop is set to return this October.

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 following the 12 of October, with the 'Runaway Mop' held the following Friday and Saturday.

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.
