Events in Coventry From 30th March – 5th April 2026

You can find live music, street food, and community-led activities across Coventry from 29 March to 5 April 2026. Open-air events focus on Broadgate and Canal Basin, where local bands play temporary stages in the afternoons and evenings. Food vendors operate under marquees near the canal path, offering vegan options, traditional British fare like fish and chips with mushy peas, and freshly baked pastries from independent bakers in areas such as Foleshill.

Family programming includes sensory play stations at Green Dragon Park playground zone, using recycled materials. These sessions run between 10:30 am and 4 pm daily on weekends, coordinated by volunteers through the Coventry Community Arts Initiative. Adults may meet for informal coffee chats near Lunt Fort’s restored Roman-era site or walk quiet stretches along Coombe Brook path.

Evenings feature moderate music at venues such as The Spires Bar, where local folk musicians perform live sets on Friday and Saturday nights between 6:30 pm and 10:00 pm. Public transport remains central to access; buses run hourly along Park Lane and Broadgate routes during event periods, linking Coventry railway station to the Civic Centre.

Notable logistical points include limited parking in city centre zones due to ongoing events such as those tied to the Godiva Festival’s legacy programming. On-street spaces are restricted outside designated loading bays, especially near Broadgate Junction and around 20–30 minutes after event start times. Despite this, access via rail or Park and Ride facilities remains reliable.
