CULTURAL GATEWAY PLANS

Construction on the former IKEA building, to transform it into a large-scale cultural landmark with facilities for residents and visitors to the city to enjoy, is planned to begin in the summer.

 

Currently called the City Centre Cultural Gateway, the prestigious scheme is a partnership between Coventry City Council, Arts Council England, the British Council, Arts Council Collection and CV Life. Coventry University will also be part of the project and will occupy two floors of the building.

 

The plans are to be discussed at a meeting of Coventry City Council’s Cabinet on 12 March, providing more detail on the future plans.

TELEGRAPH HOTEL NEW MENU

Coventry’s Telegraph Hotel has added new flavour to its menu as spring approaches – but it is not the only thing that has changed at the iconic venue.

 

The Telegraph, which is approaching its third anniversary, has invested in a new breakfast and buffet area in its popular Forme & Chase restaurant. It has also added new seating and enhanced the look and feel of the restaurant, which attracts diners from across the region and beyond, as well as hotel guests.

 

The new, seasonal menu, which will be available from March 8 onwards sees a wide variety of dishes added to whet the appetite of diners who can relax under the glazed restaurant roof as lighter nights return.

CAN YOU HELP?

Tiny Tim’s Children’s Centre is a local charity that supports children with disabilities, health issues, and special needs, along with their families. They offer free therapy for children aged 0-18 and equip parents with home techniques. While their therapies don't cure, they enhance quality of life by alleviating pain, enhancing mobility, teaching coping strategies, and fostering self-esteem, benefiting the entire family. Visit www.tinytimcentre.co.uk for details.

 

Support is welcomed without monetary donations. The Centre urgently seeks new trustees due to recent circumstances. Individuals willing to spare a few hours quarterly to oversee the charity's operations and contribute to its growth can contact Sarah Hemings at 02476 228 245 or tinytimscharity@outlook.com.

 

Another way to assist is by patronizing their Purple Planet soft play area, catering to children aged 0-10. All proceeds from entry and party fees, as well as café sales, directly benefit the charity. Click the button below for more details.
