The Godiva Festival in Coventry is a great free festival put on by the local council in the city's War Memorial Park. It is spread over a weekend in July each year, although it had to be cancelled in 2012 due to so much rain making the ground waterlogged and unsafe. The acts are a mixture of local talent and well know headliners.

The festival attracts a wide cross section of people!
Although the festival is free to enter that is somewhat made up for by the price of the food and drink!
