About The City Brief Coventry
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Coventry
Coventry has a strong history of craft, industry, and cultural reinvention. From its medieval past to its role as a motor manufacturing centre, the city has always been a place where things happen, and The City Brief exists to help you stay informed about what’s on each week across Coventry and its neighbourhoods. Whether you live in Edgbaston, Handsworth, Moseley, or any of Coventry’s residential communities, there’s always something taking place locally. Our weekly coverage brings together the events, festivals, and happenings that matter to people across the city. We track everything from the Godiva Festival and Automotive Heritage Week to smaller, neighbourhood-level activities that help you feel connected to your area. Coventry’s landmarks, like Coventry Cathedral (Modern), St. Michael’s Cathedral, and The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, often host events and activities, and we make sure you know what’s coming up. But our coverage extends beyond the city centre. We cover what's happening in Erdington, Yardley, Northfield, and beyond, recognising that events and community activities take place right across the city. The City Brief helps you discover what’s on locally by publishing a weekly roundup of events, activities, and things to do. We cover festivals and celebrations, markets, sports and cultural programmes, family activities, and neighbourhood happenings. Our aim is straightforward: to help you find out what’s happening in your part of Coventry this week, so you can make informed choices about how you spend your time. Coventry is a place where people from different backgrounds and communities come together. Events are how that happens. By keeping you informed about what's on, week after week, we help ensure you're not missing out on the things that bring Coventry alive.
