The Godiva Festival is a three-day music festival held each year in the War Memorial Park, Coventry, England, named after the city's famous former inhabitant Lady Godiva. It first appeared as a day-long event in 1997 and became a 3-day event the following year in 1998. It is the largest family music festival in the UK, and is made up of two fields; a Main Field and a Family field, which each offer a different experience.

King Henry VIII School, Coventry
King Henry VIII School, Coventry

King Henry VIII School is a coeducational private day school located in Coventry, England, comprising a senior school (ages 11–18) and associated preparatory school (ages 3–11). The senior school has approximately 800 pupils (120 in each of years 7–11 and 100 in each year of the Sixth Form). The current fees stand at £13,785 per year, with bursaries and scholarships available. Due to its location close to Coventry railway station, the school accommodates pupils from around the West Midlands area, including towns at 30 miles' distance, such as Northampton, Warwick, Balsall Common, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Rugby and Nuneaton. The school is situated on an 11-acre (4.5 ha) urban site. The buildings are an example of Victorian collegiate architecture. The campus has more recent buildings, including a new art complex, drama studio, sports hall, library and, most recently, a swimming pool and fitness suite. In 2015 an extension was added to the library. The Junior school has its own building on the same site but the preparatory school is located on a different site, a few minutes away. Pupils take part in extra-curricular activities including sports played at county, regional and national levels, music, drama, Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme, public speaking, chess and a variety of additional academic societies. The school is run by the Coventry School Foundation, a registered charity, and jointly administered with Bablake School under a common Board of Governors. The schools have mutual arrangements such as a common entrance examination, shared astroturf pitches, and similar school uniforms, differing only in the style of tie and the badge on the blazer. The Coventry School Foundation also includes the new Bablake Junior School and King Henry VIII Preparatory School, formed from the merger of Coventry Preparatory School with King Henry VIII Junior School from the beginning of the 2008/9 academic year. The two school sites remain in use by the preparatory school, with the Reception to Y2 classes occupying the old Coventry Preparatory site, which is known as Swallows, in honour of the school's founder. The Y3 to Y6 classes occupy the former King Henry VIII Junior School site, adjacent to the senior school, which is known as Hales in honour of that school's founder. With effect from September 2008, King Henry VIII School began to offer continuity of education from ages 3 to 18.

Spon End
Spon End

Spon End is a suburb of Coventry, England. It is situated west of Coventry city centre. The Butts Park Arena and a Premier Inn hotel are situated on the main road through Spon End. The Butts Park Arena, which was opened in 2004, is the home of Coventry Rugby Football club. Coventry Bears rugby league club and Coventry United and Coventry United L.F.C. football clubs are tenants of Coventry Rugby club and also play at Butts Park Arena where an all-weather pitch has been installed. Coventry Bears rugby league club were tenants until 2022. The hotel is located in a building that used to be the home of City College Coventry (formally called Coventry Technical College, often previously referred to as "The Butts"). That building also houses a community arts centre called The Albany Theatre. The headquarters of the Government department Ofqual - The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation - is located between the hotel and the rugby ground. The railway line linking Coventry and Nuneaton passes over the River Sherbourne on Spon End Viaduct. The river then continues through the area under Spon Bridge, through a post-war housing estate, and under Vignoles Bridge before entering a culvert at the edge of the city centre. The area was historically connected to the city centre by Spon Street, though this ceased when the Coventry Inner Ring Road was built, cutting Spon Street in half. Adjacent areas besides the city centre include Earlsdon and Chapelfields.
