Not long now….

If any of you have visited the War Memorial Park over the last few days you will have noticed things are gearing up towards next weekend. The crew were onsite yesterday busy marking out the layout of Godiva and today the trackway is being laid down - exciting stuff! Over the next few days we will see the park transform into the festival which we all know and love, have a look at our twitter @godivafestival for the latest pics! I keep checking the long range weather forecast, I don’t want to jinx it but so far so good! Here’s hoping for another scorcher…

Scorcher!

As the Godiva Festival fast approaches, I hope that we get the weekend of sun that we have just had here in the West Midlands, with scorching temperatures reaching highs of 26 in Coventry. Thats incredible! If you cast your mind back to the 2009 weekend, it was equally as hot! I remember that one very well…ice creams and lots of sun bathing is definately on the cards if this weather keeps up.

Friday Night!

As an eighties child I’m really excited about the opening line up for Friday! It’s going to be a nostalgic neon themed evening and I’ve heard on the grapevine that there will be spot prizes on the night for the best fancy dressed. Speaking of fancy dress if you’re short of a fluoro legwarmer or two have a look at the barrow outside the escalators in the Upper Precinct in Coventry, they have loads of leg warmers, neon fishnet fingerless gloves, ra-ra skirts and much more. Coventry Market and Arcade Fancy Dress are also good places to pick out some retro accessories!
