The Midlands has some great old cities, among them Birmingham and Leicester but one which predates both of these is Coventry. During the Middle Ages it was one of the most important of English cities, with a large population keen to share the riches gained from the burgeoning cloth industry. One of the finest mediaeval cityscapes in Europe, much of this grand old architecture was destroyed during the war and rebuilt in the modern age with a new found optimism and progressive attitude which has served the city well in leisure, industry and technology. Coventry venues share these progressive modern ideals and are well placed to host memorable events.

The enduring success of the city throughout the ages is in a large part due to its location, right in the centre of the country and well connected with transport routes. Coventry holds the distinction of being further away from the coast than any other UK city and while that may not be good news for those who like beaches it is certainly a prime location for Coventry venues to do business. A further distinction comes from the fact that the city is enclosed on three sides by a protected green belt and by the M6 motorway on the other. Expansion outwards is therefore not possible and the self contained nature of the city means its sights, attractions and businesses are all within easy reach.
The city is not diminished by its modern architecture and indeed embraces modernism, particularly through one of the most famous landmarks, St. Michaels Cathedral, which has a steel spire and is a highly regarded example of modern architecture.

These modernist philosophies extend to hotels in the city too and these provide the most popular Coventry venues for meetings, seminars and larger scale conferences. Found throughout, Coventry hotels offer stylish contemporary accommodation for both business and leisure visitors to the city.

Meeting facilities within Coventry venues as part of modern hotels will be similarly impressive. There is often a multifunctional space which can be adapted to suit a variety meeting styles and packages available to suit the size and scope of the event. Often smaller spaces such as boardrooms can be booked by the hour and larger spaces by half or full day, with all hospitality provided in the form of morning or afternoon breaks and lunches if applicable.
Many Coventry venues used for meetings can also provide a superb backdrop for weddings, with specific wedding packages to suit most styles and budgets. Further options for weddings include the many bars and clubs in the city which often have function spaces available for the purpose. These are great on a budget and will comprise everything required to celebrate in style, from a well stocked bar to a dance floor and DJ.

Many of these can be booked for private functions and to host product launches and public performances.
