Events group Warwick Rocks, with support from Warwick town council and 14 Records, is bringing a new Midsummer Night festival to Market Square on Saturday June 21 to mark the town’s 1,100th anniversary and midsummer night’s eve.

Browsers at the regular market can enjoy acoustic performances and Irish and street dancers from noon, to be followed by an open mic stage at the Rose and Crown pub from 4pm to 6.30pm.
