Today (25 July) marks the return of Warwick's popular Smith Street party.
The town was buzzing as families from across Warwickshire headed to the street.
Kicking off at 11am, the day saw Smith Street transformed into a vibrant market, packed with local traders.
Visitors could expect everything from handmade jewellery and sweet treats to skincare and pet goodies.
The day also marked the first day in business for the new beauty and aesthetics clinic, The Aesthetics Lounge.
Melissa Birch, owner of The Aesthetics Lounge, renovated the premises, formerly occupied by beauty salon Mayfield, which has relocated to a few doors down the road.
