[Disclosure - I was invited for a complimentary stay in a City Nites apartment in exchange for a review]

If you live in a small town that isn't in the immediate suburbs of Birmingham, embracing its epic food, drink and cultural scene...

Resorts World is somewhere that people seem to overlook all too often. For us lot in Rugby, it's actually closer than going all the way into Birmingham City Centre so makes sense if you're looking for somewhere different but easy to get to by...

Another one that's not strictly Coventry & Warwickshire, but it certainly sounds like a good'un and after recently joining in some Bavarian beer-based fun, I'm all over it.

Run by Seasonal Markets in collaboration...

Okay, it's not Coventry and Warwickshire but it's too good not to include. I've been to one of Seasonal Markets' events before and they really are good. Burger Fest promises to be epic - the line-up includes people like Patty Freaks, Original Patty...
