As the countdown to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games at Victoria Park in Royal Leamington Spa and Warwick gets closer, the CultureFest programme of events and activities starts this weekend!

The month-long festival runs from 16 July to Sunday 21 August 2022 and will showcase some of the creative talent that Warwick District has to offer, as well as a packed schedule of events across the District.

CultureFest includes 46 events, ranging from the popular Art in the Park Festival to Birmingham 2022 Festival’s commissioned films, which will be broadcast on the big screen at Royal Leamington Spa’s Festival Site in The Pump Room Gardens.

CultureFest aims to encourage everyone who lives, works and visits the area to discover or rediscover world-class venues and artists across our four towns of Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth and Whitnash.

Warwick District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Economy and Culture, Councillor Liam Bartlett, said:

“CultureFest is a wonderful opportunity to see the fantastic creative talent the District has to offer. If you are visiting the Festival Site during the Games or going to see the Commonwealth Games Lawn Bowls and Para Lawn Bowls at the Victoria Park Bowling Greens, visit the CultureFest website to find out what else is happening in the District during your visit.”

There will be a mixture of free and paid-for events with a range of performances and exhibitions to appeal to all tastes.

During July and August 2022, Warwick District Council will be providing the venue for the Lawn Bowls and Para Lawn Bowls at Royal Leamington Spa's Victoria Park from 29 July to 6 August and the Cycling Road Races on Sunday 7 August at Myton Fields in Warwick.
