Warwick town centre will transform into The Great Warwickshire Show and Tell today on Friday May 15.

More than 50 exhibition spaces will all be curated by people from in and around Warwick and will bring together the heritage and culture of Warwickshire.

Community groups and organisations will curate market-style stalls in the square displaying what defines them and telling the story of why their part of Warwickshire or their particular interest in the county is great.
