Events in Coventry From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find a varied programme of events across Coventry this week, reflecting the city's ongoing commitment to community and creativity. At The Phoenix in Broadgate, children aged three to seven are invited to participate in messy play sessions using natural materials like clay and dried beans, with an emphasis on safe interaction rather than structured outcomes. These weekly sessions are hosted by Coventry’s youth services team, aligning with broader initiatives to support early development across the city.

Live music returns at smaller venues including The Tin Music and Arts and Twisted Barrel Brewery, where local talent performs in shared practice spaces near Canley. On Tuesday evening at 7:30pm, a set of synth-driven performances inspired by late-1980s electronic styles will take place on the first floor gallery space above Maltby Street’s independent shop complex. These events are held under strict noise guidelines to comply with city regulations around residential proximity.

There is also a Yu-Gi-Oh! night scheduled for Saturday at 6:00pm, hosted in partnership by Coventry's gaming collective and Waterstones in the city centre, an event open to fans who want to battle through card games during weekend hours. A speed dating event aimed at singles aged 45 to 58 runs on Friday evening from 7:15 to 9:30 within the civic lounge of St Mary’s Church Hall, part of a citywide initiative linking social gatherings with heritage buildings.

Creative workshops continue throughout; one vision board-making session is open for young people at The Highlife Centre in Barras Heath this Thursday afternoon. Meanwhile, food-related activities include an informal Jollof rice cooking battle hosted by the Coventry Youth Centre on Tuesday evening, an event linked to African diaspora cultural practices and facilitated through student-led teams.

All listings are available via public service channels including Transport for West Midlands' weekly updates and city council noticeboards located in park entrances across Broadgate.
