00:09to come. We can provide you with our Warwick Visitor Guide, which opens out into a town

00:16map and it also gives details of the many beautiful attractions that you can go and

00:22visit in Warwick.

00:24Welcome to the Lord Leicester Hospital in Warwick. The properties behind me were made

00:29by local artists and members of the public and some staff members too. This particular

00:35hospital was founded in 1571 by a gentleman by the name of Robert Dudley, one of the earls

00:42of Leicester. We are called brothers and in charge of us we have a master and that master

00:49I have to say has done an excellent job in looking after this place and looking after

00:53us. We're open every day of the week except Mondays and please come and have a look around

00:59this magnificent building. It's well worth a visit and your ticket will last for a whole

01:0312 months so you can come as many times as you wish.

01:06Hey guys, welcome to Smith Street Collective. I'm Stephen and this is our shop. The greatest

01:12thing about being on Smith Street is the community. We have a great group of shop owners and business

01:17owners on the street who all work together and we're just surrounded by just really good

01:21people who really want Smith Street to succeed. As you can see we're gearing up for Christmas

01:25now. We've got all our chocolates out, we're starting to get all our cards ready. You'll

01:30see around the place we've got lots of gift ideas so please do pop in and have a look.

01:34Hello, welcome to Dog Deli. When you shop locally it stays local and it supports your

01:40local community. It builds communities and maintains communities. So for this Christmas

01:45come to Warwick, shop local, support local business.

01:50Welcome to our wonderful shop, Mary's Sweet Memories in the centre of Warwick. Out of

01:55all of the sweets in our sweet shop, Warwick Mix would most represent Warwick. It's like

02:01Warwick is a great mix historically. You know, just like this jar with great flavours, you've

02:06got loads of restaurants here that are great and really we are a great mix of independent

02:12shops. So come along, come to Warwick and try us out.

02:18Hello everyone and welcome to Warwick Books, based right here in the square. Please do

02:22come and say hello as we love all our visitors who visit us and say what a lovely little

02:27town it is. Super quaint and definitely a must visit. See you soon.

02:31Hello and welcome to Torys Hardware and DIY. Torys has been a part of Warwick for nearly

02:3860 years. We stock almost everything from housewares to decorating, plumbing, electrical

02:45and we have a wood workshop where we can cut your wood to the size you require. Warwick

02:50has a great array of independent shops run by really enthusiastic people who care about

02:58Warwick and care about Warwick doing well. So there's something to suit everybody.

03:03I'm Lydia. We are here today at Warwick Street Kitchen Bakery on Cote and End in Warwick.

03:10We are a purpose built bakery where everything is made fresh every day. We serve speciality

03:14coffee and a seasonal menu. People keep coming back to Warwick because there is such a great

03:20diverse range of small independent businesses. There's loads of great tourist attractions.

03:24The community vibe is awesome. So one visit just isn't enough. And obviously you've got

03:29Warwick Street Kitchen. So with winter coming, come and warm up with us.

03:32Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm from the Oaken Tea Rooms. I think spicy chai tea describes Warwick

03:40best at Christmas because there's lots going on and it's also warm and comforting. If you're

03:47looking for presents for the people who've got everything, we have jams and chutneys

03:52and tea of course, coffee locally roasted and also we have lots of gift vouchers. So

03:57if people want to enjoy an afternoon tea later on next year, they can do that as well.

04:02Hello, welcome to Spoon and Whisk. This is our artisan cafe here in Warwick where we make all

04:07sweet treats in-house. We are most known for our brownies, which are all homemade, as well as our

04:12pastries, flapjacks and many more. I think the dessert that relates to Warwick most would be

04:17our banana chocolate chip cake because a lot of people like to come here to try it, which brings

04:22a sense of community, which I like to think Warwick is so known for. We are based here in

04:26Warwick Town Centre, a one-minute walk away from St. Mary's Church. So come and have a try of coffee

04:31and our sweet treats and don't forget to bring your dog too, as we are dog-friendly.

04:34Hey, I'm Katie. I'm Twice. This is Doe and Brew. We are the home of sourdough pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven.

04:44We do some extravagant toppings to go on those pizzas. Amazing food and drinks from independent

04:52artisan businesses like this one and of course the best pizza and cocktails in town at Doe and Brew.

05:00Hi guys, welcome to Warwick and welcome to Ronnie's Spa. Now I was asked a very important question

05:06and that was if Warwick had a cocktail, what would it be? Let's make one together. The flag of Warwick

05:12happens to be the bear and the ragged staff, so we've come up with the Bear Necessity, which is a

05:19very special cocktail made here at Ronnie's and you need to come and visit if you haven't already been here.

05:26Hi, my name's Jodie and welcome to the Warwick Arms Hotel. We're a boutique hotel with 40 bedrooms

05:31based right in the heart of Warwick Town Centre. So Warwick is a traditional market town. We have

05:35the market in the square every Saturday where you get your traditional produce and food and sometimes

05:40a funfair in the winter markets if you're lucky. Our guests as well are invited to join us in our

05:44brand new 1717 restaurant which has just relaunched this year and our bar as well hosting a selection

07:07offer an interior design service. I think what Warwick has that all the other towns don't have

07:13is a polyton vibe which is you know like people can go to a town and shop whereas Warwick isn't

07:20like any other town because it's got the beautiful architecture, it's got the history, it's got Warwick

07:25Castle so all these elements combined gives you the ultimate shopping experience and yeah it's

07:31got a great variety for everyone to enjoy.
