As well as nine gardens opening up as part of the National Garden Scheme’s (NGS) Open Gardens over the two days, village artists are showcasing their work as part of Warwickshire Open Studios at St Gregory’s church and there will be children’s storytelling sessions at noon and 3pm.

One of the art exhibits is a rather unusual knitted bicycle, ‘yarn bombed’ by a group of villagers. Following the display over the weekend, the bicycle will be put up for sale by silent auction.
