The festival will feature a range a music, entertainment and panel discussions as well as a wide range of traders, food and drink, community groups and more.

The Leamington Peace Festival, a free and volunteer-led event which started from humble beginnings in 1979, has the aim of “working for the good of the town, the district and the world”.

The Covid-19 pandemic and “other reasons” were why the festival had not taken place in the town for five years.
