WE ARE COVENTRY TALES
We welcome you to Coventry Tales.
Come and be part of a community that celebrates the power of stories and storytelling.
It all started in a pub.
Catching up with friends, we started talking about the fact that there were so many crime events around but none of them were ever held in Coventry. We decided it would be fun to get together for a quick drink and see what happened.
And then, we had another drink. And another one after that. And before we knew it, we were standing on the street corner with our phones out, trying to figure out where to host our first event! It was all very spontaneous—and very exciting!
So we settled on Coventry Tales—a name that sounds just as good as the stories that come out of our speakers’ mouths. It was June 2022 when we held our first ever Coventry Tales event—and boy did it go well! Feedback was fantastic, food was delicious and the speakers blew us all away!
We’re always looking for new places to hold events too – if you have any suggestions let us know!
