City of Culture 2021: Launch event date could move

Available for over a year

The BBC has learnt that organisers of Coventry's City of Culture celebrations are considering moving the date of its launch event. It had been expected to take place in May after it had been delayed from the start of the year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Now it's understood the trust running the multi-million pound event is looking at alternative dates in June. The City of Culture Trust is expected to make an announcement tomorrow afternoon.
