What's On in Warwick is brought to you by our sponsor CJ's Events Warwickshire.

Here is our list of top picks for events in Warwick this weekend.

If your business or organisation is running an event, you can advertise it for free with Warwick Nub News.

Simply follow this link to our What's On section and click the black 'Nub It' button to get started.

Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. Warwick Mop Fair

It's the runaway mop this weekend!

The annual event, which is said to date back to the reign of Edward III, will see the fun fair take over the town centre again on Friday (October 20) and Saturday.

Last weekend was a big hit, so make sure you don't miss out!

More details here.

2. Pumpkin Picking - for Adults

Head to Hatton Adventure World this Saturday (October 21) for night time pumpkin picking!

Visitors will have to weave through the creepy cabins with live actors as they make their way to the pumpkin field to pick their choice in the dark to take home.

There will also be live music, as well as the Bewitching Bar selling alcoholic drinks and street food selling fish and chips and other snacks including toasted marshmallows.

Although children are admitted, this event is primarily aimed at adults, and it is not recommended to bring young children along to this event.

3. Live Steam

Local residents will be able to see steam power in action on the mainline this Sunday (October 22) as The Shakespeare Express makes its way through South Warwickshire again.

The express will travel from Birmingham Moor Street to Stratford-upon-Avon twice during the day.

On each trip the express - hauled by either 7029 Clun Castle or 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe - will pass south through Henley-in-Arden, returning through Hatton on the journey back into Birmingham.
