Throughout the event there will be family friendly activities taking place in the Pump Room Gardens including arts and crafts, Bowls, yoga, and volleyball.

Food and drink will be available on site with a designated picnic area.

Cllr Liam Bartlett, Warwick District Council portfolio holder for economy and culture, said: “If you’ve not been able to secure tickets, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the atmosphere and big moments from the Games.

"There’s something for everyone across the 12 days, from having a go at bowls and other Commonwealth Games sports, to taking part in arts and crafts activities or simply just relaxing in the Pump Room Gardens with a picnic.”

In addition to the festival sites, CultureFest is currently taking place until August 21.

CultureFest showcases and celebrates the arts and heritage venues, artists, and creatives in the area, with events and activities taking place across Leamington, Warwick, Kenilworth and Whitnash.

CultureFest aims to encourage the people who live, work and visit the area to discover or rediscover world-class venues and artists across the four towns, finding new stories and experiences by young people and emerging talent.
