Welcome to Coventry

Famous for its place in history as the home of the motor industry, Coventry is situated right at the heart of the country. Recent years have seen the city undergo major regeneration; modern urban spaces now sit seamlessly amongst medieval architecture, while independent shops, pubs and bars complement the well-known brands.

CoventryInspires Logo

Coventry has inspired many things – from the motor industry and the jet engine to Lady Godiva. The city's slogan, 'Coventry Inspires' - a play on the city's famous three spires, was chosen by the people of Coventry to reflect the enthusiasm that they feel about their city's past, present and future.
