Coventry 2021 takes city centre retail space

The Coventry City of Culture Trust will be opening a retail store, ticketing and information centre in Coventry city centre.

The new store will sell a range of branded Coventry 2021 merchandise ranging from clothing and postcards, and showcase and sell original artworks created in Coventry and Warwickshire.

The venue will also be home to a studio for media broadcasts, a meeting space for visiting delegates and a new coffee shop. It will open ahead of the UK City of Culture year which will run from May 2021 to May 2022.

Martin Sutherland, Chief Executive of Coventry City of Culture Trust, said: “This new space will be a place for Coventrians and visitors to the city to come and find out everything they need to know about Coventry 2021… With fewer than 100 days until we start our year as UK City of Culture, we are excited to open once lockdown restrictions are lifted so that we can welcome people into the store.”
