Here are our top picks for this weekend.
1. Leamington Half Marathon
The Leamington Spa Half Marathon will return for its eighth year on Sunday, 15 June 2025.
Organised by Raceways, a successful community interest company, the event has a strong track record of engaging thousands of adults and children through its various sporting initiatives.
Having sold out for the last seven consecutive years, demand for this year's race is expected to be high.
Organisers are encouraging early entries, stating: "Enter today and get Sunday 15th June 2025 in your diary for what is sure to be a great race and a memorable family day out!
"We'll see you there!"
The traffic-free course will start and finish in the heart of Leamington Spa, beside the Royal Pump Room Gardens.
Runners will head north out of the town through scenic Warwickshire villages, passing farmland and countryside, before returning to the town centre for the finish.
A full list of the road closures can be found here.
2. Theatre
Leamington's Loft Theatre is set to bring big laughs to the stage with its latest production, Up 'n' Under.
The first showing of the play was yesterday (Wednesday 11) and it will run until Saturday 21 June (excluding Monday 16).
Performances begin at 7.30 pm, except for Sunday, 11 June, when the show will start at the earlier time of 5.00 pm.
This Olivier Award-winning comedy follows a depleted and ragged amateur rugby league team who are audaciously taking on their arch rivals.
The play follows Arthur, a former professional, who's tasked with training the Wheatsheaf Arms, a team that's never won a game and spends more time in the pub than on the pitch.
Arthur enlists the help of Hazel, a female fitness guru, to turn the team around.

The market will run from 9am to 3pm at Warwick Town Centre, Market Place.
