Here are our top picks for the coming days:

1. Warwick Thai Festival

Organised by Rotary Club of Warwick, Warwick Thai Festival will return this weekend.

Hosted at Warwick Racecourse, the event will run from 10.30am to 6pm on Saturday July 8 and Sunday, July 9.

The two-day festival - which costs just £5 per ticket - will bring "a touch of Thai culture" to the town through food and performances.

The festival will include entertainment throughout the weekend, including traditional music and dancing, Muay Thai boxing, Ladyboy show, and a Buddhist monk blessing ceremony.

There will also be a wide variety of Thai food and produce stalls, a Thai beer garden, Thai massage, and a children's play area.

2. Midsummer Carnival

Back by popular demand, Warwick Castle's Midsummer Carnival returned on last month.

Part of the castle's biggest ever year of events, the colourful celebration brings to life the beauty and fun of Tudor pageantry.

Evoking the regal atmosphere and Royal pageantry of Queen Elizabeth I's visit to the castle in 1572, guests can marvel at the staged re-enactment of her arrival in the courtyard, which will be finely decorated in flags, bunting and banners to mark the occasion. 

Running until Sunday July 16, Warwick Castle will come alive with Tudor celebrations fit for royalty, as visitors are treated to a Shakespearian welcome of famous sonnets at the start of the day, a minstrel's gallery playing modern songs with an Elizabethan twist, fire breathing, juggling, knightly displays, Elizabethan games on the River Island and so much more.

3. Warwick Market

And of course this Saturday it is Warwick Market in Market Square.

The weekly market runs in the centre of town every weekend from 9am to 3pm.

Organisers said: "Warwick Market is a great opportunity to shop in a vibrant open-air setting, surrounded by many independent shops and cafes. On our Market, you will find variety and value, sold by new and experienced traders.

"You'll find stalls selling everything from fresh fruit and vegetables, plants and cut flowers, to fresh baking, fish and clothing, to gifts, and food specialities."
