Although Coventry isn’t a traditional UK tourist destination, the city boasts some fantastic attractions and a thriving cultural scene, including nightlife and many award-winning restaurants. It is also close to the picturesque Warwickshire countryside, for those who want to see some greenery during a city trip.
Coventry’s proximity to London – it is just one hour away by train – makes it a prime location for corporate travel. The city is also only 20 minutes by rail from another main business centre, Birmingham. It’s likely that hosts will see guest demand from those with engagements in the capital, although Coventry has its own business centre, being home to some of the biggest names in the automotive, energy and financial services sectors. Tata, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Barclay’s are just some of the employers in the area.
Coventry was the UK’s City of Culture 2021/2022, owing to its excellent culture and events year round. There is always lots to do; there’s world famous theatre, heritage sites including mediaeval abbeys and castles, alongside award-winning museums and galleries.
Proximity to London means that hosts in Coventry can expect demand for lettings throughout the year. Events at the theatres are also likely to draw in visitors year round, as is the nearby University of Warwick. The adjacent Warwickshire countryside is also likely to attract guests during the spring and summer months, who may be looking for accommodation in the city centre.
Although Coventry isn’t known as a tourist hotspot, it does attract visitors throughout the year due to its thriving culture, restaurant scene, and historical sites. There is also high demand for corporate travel, given its proximity to the capital and its own industry.
The city is well known for its theatre scene, including the Albany Theatre, which features a 1930s art deco theatre auditorium and holds over 80 shows throughout the year. An historic city with charm and character, there are castles, mediaeval abbeys and the Grade II listed Priory Row to explore.
Coventry is in the UK’s top 20 towns for business trips, owing to its proximity to London and Birmingham, as well as its own industry. The city’s motoring heritage means it now hosts 1,500 automotive suppliers, and 16 of the top 20 global first tier suppliers. Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and The London Taxi Company are all located in the area.
Leisure & Tourism
There is much to see and do in Coventry, from museums and theatres, to castles and historic streets to explore.
Historic sites
Coventry has a rich history, having been a mediaeval centre of wealth. Its Cathedral is celebrated as the UK’s favourite 20th century building, and is known globally as a beautiful, unique venue. St Mary’s Guildhall, built in the early 1340s, has a fascinating 700 year history featuring power, propaganda and parties. The Priory Visitor Centre is a remarkable Grade II listed building. The ruins of Coventry’s first cathedral, originally founded by Earl Leofric and Lady Godiva, were uncovered in excavation work. The incredible finds from that project are now available for the public, and include relics from nearly 1000 years of history. Historic Spon Street is another gem: wonderfully preserved timber-framed Tudor properties line the street, which has 31 listed buildings.
Museums
Coventry Transport Museum is located in the city centre. The huge museum features the world’s largest collection of British road transport, and traces the city’s history as the centre of the world’s motor industry. For music lovers, the multi award-winning The Coventry Music Museum is a must-visit, with exhibits on John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s visit to the city, alongside the actual car from The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town’ video! The Midland Air Museum displays a unique aeronautical collection, including World War II aircraft.
Theatres
Warwick Arts Centre is one of the UK’s largest multi-artform venues. Performing and visual arts, concerts, films, festivals and other events are held at the centre throughout the year. The Centre was opened in 1974, and is located in the University of Warwick campus. Since then, it has been a significant force in both UK and international arts networks. The Belgrade Theatre is another stunning venue, offering a wide range of engaging shows, including festive pantomimes.
Sport and activities
There are a number of activities for families and adults in the city. Coventry Rugby Club, located just outside of Spon end, holds a variety of events all year round. The club was established in 1874, and play in the RFU Championship league.
Skydome, in the heart of the city centre, is home to Planet Ice, a 4000 capacity Ice Rink and event area. Genting Casino Coventry is also to be found at Skydome, offering all of the favourite Casino games.
