The Kenilworth Advent Calendar is officially launched

The Kenilworth Advent Calendar has been officially launched.

Kenilworth Mayor Cllr Alison Insley carried out the honour on Saturday in Talisman Square, assisted by Sharon Maxted (acting president for SI Kenilworth and District) and Lis Stevens (the Kenilworth Lions president). Sir Jeremy Wright MP, the Member of Parliament for Kenilworth and Southam, also came to support them.

Soroptimist International Kenilworth and District took this project on when Kenilworth Rotary Club wasn’t able to do it this year, and will be selling the Calendar (£5) throughout November, giving residents 96 chances in December to win one of the great prizes donated by generous local businesses, including the star prize of a fabulous Diamond and Ruby necklace from James Moore & Co.

The project was made possible by 10 generous sponsors, shown on the calendar front. Open a window each day during Advent to reveal the day’s prizes, then check for your unique calendar number (top right corner) on the calendar website www.kenilworthadventcalendar.co.uk by hovering over the virtual door or look at the list on the noticeboard in Talisman Square between Costa Coffee and The Works or in Kenilworth Books. When your number matches one of the four randomly drawn numbers revealed each day, you win a prize ranging from restaurant meals to massages and many things between.

Calendars can also be bought from Kenilworth Books; Tree House Book Shop; Kenilworth Centre; Fossato Lounge and Myton Hospice shop or buy a virtual Calendar from the website and surprise a friend. All profits will be divided between 6 very deserving local charities - Compassionate Kenilworth, Talisman Youth Theatre, Priory Youth Theatre, Myton Hospice, Kenilworth Centre, Warwickshire Refuge.
