The Cultural Directory

The Coventry City of Culture Trust was set up as an independent charity in 2015, with a team of 8 people in place to bid for the title of UK City of Culture 2021. Now that Coventry has won the title of UK City of Culture for 2021 and our we can confirm the festivities will run May 2021 - May 2022, we’re currently working on an exciting programme of activity and events for 2021, which we expect to announce in Autumn 2020. You can expect large-scale spectacle, music, dance, theatre and poetry as well as more intimate, celebratory cultural and heritage experiences in every ward of the city. We are also working with partners in Warwickshire, so expect that the impact will be felt within our neighbouring communities too. To see events, including contributions from event-planners city wide, (alongside those led by The Trust) in The Culture Diary, please search for the Major Event entitled 'Coventry UK City of Culture 2021'
