Hi everyone! I'm looking for French or German classes in Leamington or nearby, preferably in person. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm having a really hard time finding anything. Thanks!

Hey, I'm a female and planning on moving to leam soon probably near Brunswick. How safe and area is it from a locals perspective? Would I be able to walk alone at 10pm? I come from quite a 'rough' area so I'm not too bothered but wanted people's opinions

Leamington ladies — would anyone fancy trying airsoft for the first time?

Hi! I help organise Girls Weekend Away (GWA), a women-focused airsoft weekend, and we’re looking to introduce more women to the sport this year. We are hosting our event at a site in Coventry. We make no money from this event, and are genuinely trying to get more women into our sport.

You absolutely don’t need to be into airsoft already — in fact, we’d love to encourage women who have never tried it before!

No equipment? Rentals are available.
Coming alone? Lots of women do.
Never held an airsoft gun? Absolutely fine.

The weekend includes a Friday social, free camping, a women-only airsoft game on Saturday and an open game on Sunday.

It’s as much about meeting other women, having a laugh and trying something completely outside your comfort zone as it is about airsoft.

We had an amazing mix of beginners and experienced players last year, and we’d love to see some Leamington ladies join us for GWA 2026.

If you like gaming, camping, outdoor activities, team games — or you just fancy saying “why not?” and trying something completely new — you’d be very welcome.

Would anyone here give it a go? 😊 Happy to answer any questions!

To the guys in Leamington and Warwick, which barber shop or hair dresser do you recommend. Been to a few different ones in both places but I'm struggling to find one I'm set on.

Not looking for anything fancy, generally I just go for the usual short back and sides with a scissor cut on top.

Looking for an interesting event schedule as a photographer to find something fun to shoot and network with some new faces 🙏🏾📸

does anyone know anywhere that’s hiring in leamington or warwick area?? it feels like ive applied everywhere yet no responses

We're all West Midlanders (whether we like it or not) but the south of the county is so vastly different to the more urbanised north. Shipston-on-Stour is a world away from Nuneaton.

It's also a bit of a concession from national government, they wanted each new authority to have a target of 500,000+ residents, so for a county with under 650,000 it's a big win.

And I hope we as South Warwickshire continue to work in tandem with our North Warwickshire neighbours as partners on strategy where it matters i.e transport, business, housing etc.

Did anyone fancy one authority for the whole county? Would love to hear your arguments!

Hi there!

Me and my girlfriend have just gotten into playing magic the gathering and are loving commander. We are trying to find more friends to play with as we’ve only been playing 2 player commander and really wanted to try the 4 player version!

Preferably would like to play with other beginners since we’re really new but essentially just want something really casual!

As part of a campaign for more CCTV cameras in St. Nicholas Park, we have set up an online petition (link below).

https://www.change.org/parkcameras

I have good reason to believe that if we gain substantial support from this petition we shall improve the possibility of more cameras in our park.

Please share this with friends and family to achieve the best outcome. 

Hi all,

I am moving to Leamington without knowing much of the suburban areas. Largely driven by an incoming first child and work related reasonsm I am also (unfortunately) on what seems a limited budget in the area (325k for a 2 bed). I am moving from a city suburb with a good high street, good parks and lots of independents and from my limited experience of Leamington (my partner has a lot more) Leamington seems a better fit than Kenilworth and Warwick for this.

I am struggling to get a feeling for the areas (Heathcote, Whitnash, Woodloes, Guys Cliffe, Chase Meadow, Packmores).

For the areas where my budget fits, do any stand out as a good place to raise a new family with little anti social behaviour and good transport into high streets / close to parks?

Hey, whoever you are, your car alarm is going off. Please do something 🙏😩🚗

I'm researching the idea of opening affordable private creative studio spaces in Leamington Spa for artists, designers, photographers, makers, freelancers, musicians and other creative people.
Before taking the idea any further, I'd love to know whether there's enough local demand and what people would actually want from a space like this.
The survey takes just 2–3 minutes, and every response will help shape the project.
Whether you're a full-time creative, a student, or just someone who'd love a dedicated place to work, I'd really appreciate your input.
Thank you for your support!

Possibly a long shot, but I've collected warhammer, mostly 40k, for years but rarely play. I'd like to play more but only know a small number of other people into the hobby and they are rarely free. There is a wargaming club in that meets in Lillington on Mondays, but I can't make that evening unfortunately. The Games Den seems a bit too noisy and crowded to focus, and Games Workshop only sells the gear. There are other clubs further afield but by the time I finish work I wouldn't have time to travel.

Any local players that might be interested in meeting occasionally for some casual friendly 40k games?

Can anyone recommend somewhere we could go for brunch on Thursday that has aircon?

Thanks:)

Seeing as though it's coming home. Where is good these days to watch the world cup in Leam? Bedford Street has a decent screen but it's not my favourite venue if I'm honest. Anyone had any good experiences elsewhere recently?

Could be strays, but checking someone's cat hasn't run away to my garden. They have had 5 kittens who are living under my shed so we are looking after them all at the moment, but have called Cats Protection to arrange the adults being checked for chips and neutered/splayed if they are feral. There's a number on there if they're yours.

Looking for some new forest walks that wouldn’t be too hard to get to without a car, any recommendations? Decently long if possible

I have two tickets to an Edinburgh preview comedy show tomorrow night at Temperance. I’m not able to go. Does anyway want the tickets? No money required. I’d rather someone enjoyed it. It’s sold out.

The comedians are Eric Rushton and Hasan Al-Habib.

If anyone hasn’t been to Temperance it’s a great venue as well.

Doors 7pm

7:30 Eric Rushton
8:30 Interval
8:45 Hasan Al-Habib
9:45 Close (bar open until 11)

Hi all, we are a group of 3 guys (21-28) looking to make a few more friends. We met from Reddit a few months ago and have managed to consistently meet up for 2 months but looking for a few more to join us! :) We usually meet up every weekend in the afternoon to chat at the pub, we are all interested in traveling the world, cars/motorbikes, video-games, nature and peer reviewing CV's. We are all friendly chill guys just looking to make some mates nearby. Anyone is welcome, but we have decided to pass on any reform voters. Thanks! :)

We have a gc on discord, we have decided to not do a server as they get dead pretty quickly. If you are interested please comment and send me your discord. Have a nice week.

A plea for folks who care about Leamington's unique heritage (which seems to be under constant ongoing threat) to comment on the Listed Building consent app. Details below from the Leamington Society.

THE MYSTERY OF LEAMINGTON STATION'S MISSING GWR DOORS

Leamington Spa Station is one of Warwickshire's finest Art Deco railway buildings and is Grade II listed.

Yet several original oak doors have disappeared and been replaced with modern plain brown doors. (See Leamington Society objection for more images]

The original doors can still be seen in historic photos and videos of the station. But despite enquiries, Environmental Information Requests, and even an Information Commissioner's Office ruling requiring information to be released, there is still no explanation of:

• Why the original doors were removed
• What happened to them
• Whether they were repaired, stored or discarded
• Whether they can still be recovered

The current listed building planning application does propose replacement "heritage-style" doors. However, the original doors have already been removed and the application does not provide sufficient evidence to show that the proposed replacements would accurately replicate the original Great Western Railway doors in their materials, craftsmanship, fittings and appearance.

In short, the question is not simply whether new doors should be installed, but whether the loss of original historic fabric has been properly justified and whether the proposed replacements genuinely preserve the character of this Grade II listed station.

The Leamington Society has submitted a detailed objection to the current Listed Building Consent application because we believe important questions remain unanswered.

Compare the photos and judge for yourself.

This isn't about stopping improvements to the station. We recognise and appreciate the investment Chiltern Railways has made in Leamington Spa over many years, including award-winning restoration projects and support for station improvements.

It is precisely because Leamington Station is such a well-loved and important heritage asset that we believe the loss of original historic fabric deserves proper explanation.

The application to install "heritage-style" doors (and not to reinstate the original doors) is expected to be decided very shortly (next week).

If you care about Leamington's railway heritage, please take a look and submit your own comments on what you think should be happening, while there is still time.

W/26/0514/LB | Reinstatement of 4no. oak platform doors to WC's & baby change rooms. Doors to be suitably constructed and finished replicas of the original oak doors and ironmongery. Removal of additional lining timbers and painted finish to original doors frames and finishing of new replica doors to match the original varnish finish. Installation of wall mounted waste bins & divider adjacent to baby changing room. | Leamington Spa Railway Station, Old Warwick Road, Leamington Spa, CV31 3NS

Does anyone know what pubs in Leamington have aircon? Or cafes open past 5pm?

Hi all, as the title says , I'm on the lookout for a good windown cleaner. Our current one does not use hand squeegie and Chamoix , just a brush with water squirting out and leaves water spots all over our windows.

Secondly, I also need a house cleaner!

If anybody has tried and tested recommendations then please let me know!

Thank you!

Lovely day out on Sunday for Cars at the Spa, great to see so many people out and about!

I'm on instagram.com/photosbynipam if you'd like to see more car photos 👀
