How Do You Plan A Weekend At The Coventry Godiva Festival?
The Godiva festival is a celebration of Lady Godiva who, in a bid to lower taxes, once rode through the Coventry streets naked. Nowadays people tend to keep their clothes on at this free festival that attracts up to 70,000 people. It traditionally begins with the Godiva procession up to the Memorial Park where during weekend (between the 13th and 15th of June this year), folks come to see a variety of music, from hip-hop to rock.
