Warwick Court Leet Today
An active use of heritage
The Court blends traditions, including quarterly Courts and ancient ceremonies, with modern fundraising events, to benefit charities, community groups and individuals in Warwick.
The Court carries out Ale Tasting and Assizes ceremonies, when we visit pubs, restaurants, food purveyors, butchers and fishmongers to purchase, taste and celebrate their offerings.
We hold four Courts each year, two closed and two open. We produce and host Warwick’s Summer Beer, Cider & Music Festival, The Lord Leycester Beer Festival and the Warwick Classic Car Show.
We support the Mayor of Warwick – who is our Lord of the Leet – at processional events such as Mayor Making, Remembrance Sunday and at the formal opening of the Mop Fair.
Adding community value
Our events raise funds for our Community Grand Fund, which has donated more than £77,000 to good causes and charities in Warwick.
In 2026, Warwick Court Leet announced that a new grand total of more than £77,000 has been donated to good causes in CV34 from its Community Grant fund.
Positive local engagement
Through our enactments of ancient ceremonies and contemporary fundraising events, such as our Beer Festivals and Classic Car Shows, we work to ensure everyone can participate and enjoy the Court’s activities. We continue to care for and fundraise for our community in Warwick.
