Five of the best things to do in and around Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth in the next seven days

1 THEATREWon’t you come along with me?A Musical Tour of Tysoe, Tysoe Village Hall, June 29 and 30Tysoe Village Hall and Tada! (Tysoe Amateur Dramatic Association) have joined together to present an altogether unique musical evening pulling together, people, places and the recent history of Tysoe. The idea was conceived by local consulting engineer and amateur historian Andrew Baxter after Tada! helped celebrate the official re-opening of Tysoe Village Hall last June. Inspired by the vibrant local talent in Tysoe and particularly by long-time resident Doreen Smith’s beautiful voice, Andrew has pulled together memories of Tysoe drawn from living there in the late ‘60s and from close association ever since. The audience is promised an uplifting, entertaining and educational evening with narration, songs and sketches. It’s a chance to see Tysoe and its residents in a new light.Details: Call 01295 670605

3 EXHIBITIONThe Marvellous Mechanical Museum, Compton Verney Art Gallery, June 30 to September 30The Marvellous Mechanical Museum reimagines the spectacular automata exhibitions of the 18th century and invites visitors to step into a world which explores the boundaries of what is lifelike and what is alive and where artists, inventors and engineers collide. The exhibition traces the history of the early automata shows and androids alongside work by contemporary artists – much of which has never been exhibited publicly before or has been created especially for the show – all of which questions mankind’s fascination with mimicking life forms both human and animal.
