There's a huge buzz about the city- Coventry ranks as the 8th best city to live, work and do business in the UK, and is the UK City of Culture 2021 ! We believe this will help put Coventry on the map for all the right reasons. You can feel the sense of local pride throughout the city as we build towards this momentous year. It also offers a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to those joining us to play their part in it.
Coventry City Council is the primary supporter of The Coventry City of Culture Trust, committing £5m in funding as well as additional resource as part of its “City Readiness” programme. This will see the Council invest in improvements to the public realm as well as supporting cultural and heritage organisations with their capital improvements in advance of 2021. This funding will help us to deliver a programme that has a positive impact for Coventry – and the wider region – not just in 2021 but well into the future creating a legacy for the city.
