The festival, which is now in its 14th year, will be taking place at Warwick Racecourse but this year’s event will be taking place over Saturday June 2 and Sunday June 3 instead of just one day in previous years.

This year the Rotary Club is teaming up with new organisers – “Magic of Thailand” to stage its popular festival and is hoping it will be better than ever.
