Here are our top picks for the coming days:
1. Light Trail
The light trail has returned to Warwick Castle this Christmas, alongside the Ice Rink and the chance to meet Father Christmas.
"Our festive Light Trail returns to illuminate the castle and its grounds, bigger and better than ever before, with impressive new installations and thousands of shimmering lights spread across the iconic castle grounds," the castle said.
"As dusk arrives, immerse yourself in breathtaking surroundings lit up with larger-than-life illuminations.
"Wander the beautiful gardens with twinkling trees and projections that light up the sky. Whatever your age, our castle Light Trail is sure to bring the real magic of Christmas to life."
2. Weirdly Festive Walk of Warwick
The 'Weirdly Festive Walk of Warwick' takes place throughout December, discussing historic crimes that took place around the holidays.
Warwick's newest historic experience has already proven to be a hit, reaching a five-star rating on TripAdvisor in just two months.
Now, with Christmas in full swing, The Weird Walk of Warwick is revealing new stories exclusively in December, of crimes and historic events that took place in the past around the festive season.
The Weirdly Festive Walk of Warwick promises to reveal "extraordinary" Christmas tales from the town's history, including the incredible life of Lettice Knollys, the wife of Robert Dudley, who is now buried in St Marys Church after passing away on Christmas day.
There are tales of festive thieves, who were sentenced to hard labour in Warwick's old prison on Cape Road; and even a deadly murder that took place one Christmas morning, that ended with a public execution in Warwick.
3. Drive-In Cinema
The festive drive-in cinema returns to Hatton Country World this weekend, with showings this Saturday (December 22) and Sunday.
Love Actually, Home Alone, The Grinch and The Nightmare Before Christmas will be shown this weekend.
Johnnie Arkwright, owner of Hatton Country World said, "This year, Hatton Country World is set to deliver a magical, fun-filled holiday season for everyone and a Christmas celebration like no other!
"Our Christmas events will delight visitors of all ages with new, exciting offerings, making Hatton a must-visit location this Christmas.
"Visitors can create cherished memories with their family and loved ones and capture the perfect holiday selfie that will last a lifetime.
"The Christmas Markets will be bursting with festive gifts and unique presents. Grab your scarf and gloves, wrap up warm and visit Hatton for a memorable and magical experience this Christmas!"
