With the autumn months approaching, Leamington is preparing to welcome the return of its seasonal markets.

More than 80 traders are set to bring food, handmade finds and local produce to the town starting on Parade this Sunday (4 October).

Visitors can browse handmade arts and crafts, local produce, gifts and street food, while enjoying the autumn atmosphere and supporting independent businesses.

The opening market is scheduled for 10am to 5pm on Parade.

Jamie Probert-Walker, Events & Compliance Director said: "We're delighted to bring Leamington's Sunday markets to the town in partnership with Warwick District Council. The Autumn Markets are a great way to discover independent traders and enjoy the season together, and from November we'll be bringing a festive feel to Sundays with our Christmas Markets, pausing for Remembrance Sunday."

Among the traders listed for 4 October are Cafe Cannoli Ltd, serving freshly piped traditional Sicilian cannoli and Sicilian arancini; Bests Jamaican Cuisine, with dishes including jerk chicken, curried goat and vegan curry; Ali Hansen Art, offering limited-edition prints inspired by art, design and culture; and Ginger Elephant Coffee Company, featuring locally roasted speciality coffee.

The market is an opportunity to discover distinctive gifts and seasonal treats, enjoy food from a range of traders and make a day of exploring the town centre. Visitors are encouraged to bring friends and family and support the local and independent businesses taking part
