Plus, building a Christmas calendar with the kids couldn’t be easier here at Warwick Arts Centre. Whatever activity you’re looking for, this December we have something for everyone from tots to teens.

Family Sundays FREE (1, 8, 15 December from 1.30pm) continue into December for a family afternoon out full of crafty fun, including badge and flag making. Suitable for all ages.
