1. Helping Hands Festival

A Leamington-based charity is hosting a family festival this weekend (Saturday 16 May).

The Helping Hands Family Festival will take place from 12noon to 4pm at Leamington Rugby Football Club on Kenilworth Road.

Visitors can expect live music, entertainment, great food, fun activities for all ages — all while supporting a great cause.

Organisers shared: "We know how difficult a family day out can be with rising costs so we're charging just £1 a token for each of our activities, including hook a duck, coconut shy, bouncy castles, adopt a teddy, bucking sheep, and much more!

"It's a chance to come together as a community, create lasting memories with friends and family, and make a real difference to people who need it most.

"Every ticket, donation, and show of support helps the charity continue providing vital services and support for those experiencing homelessness. Come along, have fun, and help us do something truly positive together!

2. Eurovision Festival returns

The popular Eurovision Festival is set to return to the heart of Leamington this weekend (Saturday 16 May).

Now in its third year, the Eurovision Festival has become one of Warwick District's most vibrant community events, welcoming thousands of visitors from across the region to celebrate the spirit of Eurovision in a fun, inclusive, and family-friendly atmosphere.

Attendees can enjoy the leading ABBA Tribute - bringing an afternoon and evening "packed full of live entertainment, colour, music, and celebration to the town centre."

Taking place this Saturday in Leamington between 11am and midnight, the free-to-attend festival will feature an artisan market, funfair rides, themed bars, street food, a silent disco, and live performances — all wrapped up with plenty of glitter, sequins, and Eurovision spirit ahead of the live screening of the Grand Final.

3. R.E.M tribute

Four highly-experienced musicians who embody Berry, Buck, Mills and Stipe are set to capture the presence and performances of the band with R.E.M. by Stipe, the Definitive Tribute reflect the core of R.E.M..

As huge fans of the band they are committed to holding true to the sound and overall aesthetic of R.E.M., so that fans, old and new, can experience the magic of hearing these songs played live with care, conviction, and affection.

They are joined on stage, as R.E.M. were, by additional musicians to help bring album tracks to life on stage. Each set-list is different, but every show celebrates this timeless music for fans of R.E.M.

The show will take place at Leamington's Assembly on 16 May from 7pm.
