Royal Leamington Spa is to host an exciting new two day event to celebrate style, arts and culture within the town. Leamington Live, which is being organised by BID Leamington, will take place on the 1 & 2 May and is free for visitors to attend. A wide range of events and activities will take place throughout the town centre. Over 100 local businesses are expected to participate in this unique event which aims to promote the town's varied retailers in a fun and engaging way.
Leamington Live will incorporate five trails around the town which will follow the five senses – sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. The Fashion Trail will feature the season’s hottest trends from Leamington retailers with ‘Fashion on the Move’ events plus live fashion shows and in-store demonstrations. Pamper pods will enable visitors to receive complimentary treatments including manicures, massages and make-up lessons.
The Food Trail will incorporate a live kitchen with demonstrations by local chefs, special offers at restaurants and cafes, sampling and themed events. The Art Trail will feature live demonstrations by established and up and coming local artists as well as in store displays of art. The Music Trail will play host to a number of local talented musicians performing a wide range of music from choir singing to string quartets and from jazz to classical in dedicated areas. The Elephant Trail will incorporate a fun treasure trail around the town. Children will have to find toy elephants in store windows, break the code and claim their prize plus the chance to win a family day out at an off road safari.
A pocket sized event leaflet will detail all the events and activities taking place over the two days along with their location and details of how to win the off road safari competition. Event staff will be on hand to guide visitors, answer queries and hand out leaflets.
