Image item
Coventry’s popular Sports Fest is back next month – bringing six exciting days of free, family-friendly sports activities to Broadgate.
 
The event will run from Tuesday 12 to Sunday 17 August from 10am-4pm each day.
Sports Fest features a diverse range of sports and wellbeing activities suitable for all ages and abilities.
 
This includes interactive activities such as ball hockey, rugby, netball, football, table tennis and badminton.
 
Cheerleading and dance performances will also be part of the event with showcases from talented local groups searching for new members.  
Every morning there will be a designated quiet hour suitable for those needing a calmer, low-sensory setting.
 
Sports Fest is delivered by Coventry City Council in partnership with Sky Blues in the Community. 
 

 
CITY CENTRE NEWS
Research into Street Accessibility in Coventry
The Disability Policy Centre has been asked by the National Centre for Accessible Transport, who are based at Coventry University, to undertake research on how accessible the business areas of Coventry are. This project has the full support of Coventry Council and the West Midlands Combined Authority.
 
What we are looking to understand is how accessible businesses in Coventry are and to understand any ways in which businesses feel accessibility could be improved. Whilst the research has a focus on disability access, all the findings of the research will be reported back, even if these are not directly related to disability access e.g. things like cars and vans constantly parking in places that cause issues.
 
We would like to host a focus group with interested business in either late July or early August, and if you are interested in taking part, or have any questions relating to disability access, please could you send Matt Lloyd at the Disability Policy Centre (matt@dispolcentre.org). Part of the focus group will look at how funding and support may be accessed to improve accessibility and barriers which prevent businesses getting the support they need.
