Godiva Festival organisers Coventry City Council are calling on the public to give their views and opinions on how to make next year’s event even better.

With record-breaking crowds, festival organisers are looking to build on this achievement to improve the event for next year.

Cllr Tony Skipper, Cabinet Member with responsibility for culture and arts for Coventry City Council said:

I’m delighted we’ve been able to make the festival such a success this year and that’s not only testament to the hard work and organisation of everyone involved but to the public who have supported this event wholeheartedly.  As an Olympic co-host City, 2012 will be a special year for Coventry as we welcome, not only local people, but visitors from around the world to the region, so it’s important that we listen to the public and take on board their views to make Godiva Festival 2012 even bigger and better.   

The public are invited to give their opinions by completing a short survey online at

More than 120,000 people visited the Festival, which took place at Coventry’s War Memorial Park from 1 to 3 July, breaking last year’s record attendance figures of 90,000.

This year’s Festival was the first to be organised by the Council, which took over the event from CV One in April.
