Spark:Lite 2027 will return on Friday 5 February 2027!

Spark:Lite is Warwick District’s creative sector event – bringing together artists, creatives, organisations and people working across arts, culture and heritage.

It’s a space to make connections, share ideas, discover opportunities and celebrate the creativity happening across the district. Through talks, conversations, showcases and practical activity, Spark aims to strengthen our local creative community and create new opportunities for people to connect and collaborate.


📍 The Royal Spa Centre, Leamington

📅 Friday 5 February 2027

⏲️ 10am - 3.30pm

💰 Free. Booking Required (Tickets live November 2027)


Each year, we try to do things a little differently with Spark, building on what has worked well, responding to feedback and creating new opportunities for Warwick District’s creative community to connect, share and showcase their work.

For Spark:Lite 2027, we’ll be making use of the different spaces across the Royal Spa Centre throughout the day:

  • Main Auditorium
    All presentations, talks and panel discussions will take place in the main auditorium, bringing our programme together in one central space.
     
  • Cinema/Studio: Local Film Showcase
    Following the success of the Spark Presents filmmaker showcase, our cinema will screen work by local filmmakers throughout the day. The screenings will be open to both Spark delegates and members of the public, giving local filmmakers the opportunity to see their work presented on the big screen in a professional cinema environment – and giving audiences the chance to discover more locally made film.
     
  • Lower Foyer: Local Artists and Makers
    The lower foyer will showcase work by local artists and makers, with the opportunity for delegates to meet them, discover their work and purchase items directly.
     
  • Upper Foyer: Arts, Heritage and Cultural Organisations
    The upper foyer will bring together local arts, heritage and cultural organisations. Drop by their stalls to find out who they are, what they do and the opportunities, activities and projects happening across Warwick District.
     

Together, these spaces will create plenty of opportunities to listen, discover, connect, browse and experience the creativity happening across Warwick District – whether you stay for the whole event or simply drop in for part of the day.
