Thousands of people flock every year to the city’s War Memorial Park to enjoy a fantastic weekend full of live music and family fun. The Godiva Festival is a three-day music festival that was named after the city's famous inhabitant, Lady Godiva. According to the legend, Lady Godiva rode naked on a horse along the streets of Coventry in protest of a tax her husband had imposed on his tenants. But later versions of this legend say that Thomas, who watched Lady Godiva riding naked, was struck blind and hence the origin of the unflattering name of ‘Peeping Tom’. Coventry pays homage to this legend with a plastic pantomime that unfolds on the Broadgate clock and a statue and the Belgian chocolate company Godiva, also pay tribute to her in their logo. Feel the rhythm and treat yourself with some yummy Godiva chocolates. Sounds like a plan?
