Organisers shared: "Join us to celebrate the 120th anniversary year of the 1906 Warwick Pageant. This free, family-friendly event in the heart of the town will feature live music, participatory theatre, and craft activities.

"We'll be honouring the heroes and stories of Warwick, and paying homage to the creativity of those that brought together the pageants of yesteryear."

Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and camping chairs to sit on for the first part of the event, a participatory theatre experience, exploring stories from the original 1906 Warwick Pageant.
