A popular local event celebrating the historic part of Leamington is to take place every month through the spring and summer, its organisers have announced.

People are being invited to make tracks to The Old Town Railway Arches next month, for the first in a series of the special days, hosted by the business owners.

Arches Day is a free event which includes a line-up of live musicians and DJ sets as well as street food supplied by Nicos Pizza and Warwick Street Kitchen.

The next event, on April 6 th , has been organised by four of the businesses which operate out of  The Arches on Victoria Business Park - Windmill Hill Brewing Company, BRUBL Beer,  Warwickshire Gin Company, Southbound Café - Bar and sister company Vice Motorcycles.

Windmill Hill Brewing Company was established six years ago by friends Gavin Leach and Rob Singleton and now brews and sells award-winning seasonal and limited-edition craft ales.

Visitors on the day will also have the opportunity to see motorcycles on display, including a Triumph Bonneville with sidecar and Vice Motorcycles’ TT Lightweight custom Mutt, back in Leamington after being displayed at shows in London and Thruxton Racetrack as well as Mutt HQ in Birmingham.

Vice Motorcycles build custom bikes and manufacture parts for Triumph motorbikes. Founder and manager Carl Harris has been based at The Arches for the past seven years and has spent his working life in product design-related industries.

The Arches has been home to Warwickshire Gin Company, run by Dave Blick, for six years. The award-winning hand-crafted drinks range of five gins and a rum and vodka recipe, are all inspired by historical events, with two more rums soon to launch. They also offer gin tasting experiences.

The newest Arches tenant is BRUBL Beer, run by Nathan Barnes who moved in 18 months ago after building the business which started life as a home-built garden beer shed in lockdown.

BRUBL continues to add to its wide range of ales, from an easy-drinking IPA, ‘Highway to Hop’ 4.3% ABV, to the luxurious, deliciously dark ‘Baltic Smoked Porter’ 7.6% ABV. The event runs between 1-10pm and tickets can be booked here.
