Leamington’s Eurovision party is back – and YOU could be on stage!

As the excitement builds for the town's beloved all-day festival in the Pump Room Gardens, organisers CJ's Events Warwickshire are putting out a call to local live performers to sign up and take the stage.

Last year's event saw over 8,000 visitors fill the gardens for a day of food, drink, crafts and celebration, with more than 2,000 die-hard Eurovision fans sticking around to enjoy the live screening. In 2025, the event promises to be even more spectacular… and now, it's your chance to be part of the show.

"This is one of our highlights of the year," said Jamie Walker of CJ's Events. "It's about more than just Eurovision – it's a real celebration of our community. We're on the lookout for brilliant local acts to perform live and get the party started. If you've got talent to share, we want to hear from you!"

From 11am, the gardens will come alive with the hustle and bustle of a vibrant market featuring local traders, makers and producers. Live performances will keep the vibe high all day long, before the main event – the Eurovision final – hits the big screen at 8pm. And we do mean big – with a 46sqm screen, you won't miss a beat.

Festivalgoers are encouraged to bring along picnic rugs and deckchairs, settle in for the day and enjoy a feast of street food and local drinks well into the night as the Eurovision drama unfolds.

Leamington's own PO'Sh Creative is sponsoring the event and bringing their signature flair to the festivities. Creative Director Jan Patalong shared: "We came to last year's event as fans and had an amazing time. Now, we're proud to be part of making it even more special. Expect plenty of flags, feather boas and a whole lot of sparkle."

PO'Sh has also developed a custom digital scorecard for fans to rank each performance – whether watching in the Gardens or from home. At the end of the night, all scores will be tallied to crown Leamington's Eurovision champion.

So, whether you're a market lover, a music fanatic or just a fan of fabulous fun – this is the event for you.
