Events in Coventry From 18th May – 24th May 2026

Looking for events in Coventry this week? You can find a good mix of activities across the city. This week includes live music, from tribute evenings to stand-up comedy at venues like Funhouse Comedy Club in Bedworth. If you're after something more relaxed, consider the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, which is hosting an immersive Jurassic-themed exhibition this summer. There are also family workshops focused on cultural roots and creativity, often held at the Belgrade Theatre.

For those visiting by rail, Coventry railway station offers easy access to the city centre. However, parking is limited, especially during events like the Godiva Festival. Use the Park and Ride facilities to avoid the Ring Road. Travel time by bus or Inner Ring Road is essential to factor in.

Coventry’s history as a centre for manufacturing and culture continues to shape its offerings. The city, named UK City of Culture in 2021, maintains a strong event calendar. Beyond music and theatre, you can find talks about its Roman foundations at Lunt Fort, or displays referencing its industrial heritage. Check the listings below for times and venues.
