3. Art in the Park
Nearby in Leamington, Art in the Park returns this weekend (1-2 August).
The free to attend festival will span across 1 and 2 August from 10am to 6pm at Jephson and Mill Gardens.
This year's theme is "Pathways" inviting attendees to reflect on "the winding course of fate and circumstance that has brought you here today."
Festival Director Kate Livingston shared: "In 2026 we are bringing you another packed slate, with fantastic new exhibitors alongside returning festival staples. Head to Pangaea Sculptors' Centre for their mobile sculpting studio or take the family to the Big Gobs tent to create your own puppet! We have face painting, henna tattoos, street art from Brink, DJ workshops with New Future Creatives, and the Sunday Parade returns with a HUGE surprise that shouldn't be missed!
"There are too many to list, so peruse these pages to find the perfect activity and stop by our fantastic charity and community stalls to learn about their vital work."
