SUMMER energy is coming to Coventry city centre throughout August. The Big Summer Takeover is a month-long series of free family events taking place in the city centre at weekends. Organised by Coventry City Council, the events will include seaside themed performances, BMX stunts, street theatre, an adrenaline inducing zipwire and open-air films. On Saturday (August 1), City Seaside will bring the seaside to the city, featuring street performances, a giant inflatable lobster and dry land water skiing. Sports Fest will bring five days of sports and movement activities to the city centre on August 11–15, including football, athletics, racket sports, dance, fitness sessions and inclusive activities.
