2010 details coming soon. 

The 2009 Godiva Carnival Procession

This year the award winning Godiva Carnival celebrates its 10th year since it’s re establishing in 2000.  The theme for this year is ‘Coventry Greats’ and will be designed by Vortex Creates. From industry to art, from engineering to innovation, each section of the carnival will pay homage to some of the great things to come out of Coventry both past and present. Ribbons, clocks, bicycles, cars, musicians, sporting heroes, scientific developments, artists & inventions – will all find themselves represented in carnival this year. 

Feeding the heart, the soul and the senses, carnival will fill the streets with music, dance and colour as it winds itself from the city centre to the Godiva Festival Arena in Memorial Park. One section will be dedicated to the Olympic and Paralympic Games as this year also marks the beginning of the city’s journey to London 2012. Each following section will then take one of the colours of the Olympic flag to mark this journey.

Working alongside schools, community groups, businesses and a number of partners including Coventry & Warwickshire 2012 Partnership and NHS Coventry. Imagineer Productions will create the spectacular floats, large scale structures and masquerade costumes that have become our city’s trade mark over the past 10 years. 

Imagineer Productions are inviting groups or individuals who would like to get involved, through participating in the carnival itself or volunteering as float pushers to contact us now and request a registration form. We would also like to hear from bands who could play in carnival.
