GALLERY: Thousands gather in Leamington for spectacular Eurovision Festival and Markets

Thousands gathered in Leamington town centre over the weekend for the Leamington Eurovision Festival, hosted by CJ's Events Warwickshire.
The event fostered a vibrant community celebration that brought people together from all walks of life.
Centred around a free live screening of the Eurovision Song Contest, the town saw an estimated 3,000 additional visitors, alongside thousands of bustling market crowds during the day.
Families, friends, and music lovers gathered in a joyful, welcoming atmosphere, celebrating the power of music to unite and inspire.

Jamie Walker from CJ's Events Warwickshire said: "It's been incredible to see so many people enjoying themselves in the heart of our town.
"Eurovision is about being united by music, and Leamington really embraced that spirit.
"The event has certainly grown since the first event last year, and we're already in discussions with Warwick District Council to host the event in 2026, which will remain a free public event."

Festivalgoers also had the chance to play judge by rating each performance via a dedicated online website.

The site, along with the festival's eye-catching branding and promotional materials, was created by local design agency PO'Sh Creative.

Walker added: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved, particularly Warwick District Council who gave the event the green light, PO'sh Creative for the marketing & design services, and MKS Photography for capturing our official photos."

With the success of this year's festival, plans are being made to return next year, cementing Leamington's place on the Eurovision map.
