The weekend is upon us, and despite the forecast for temperatures to plummet from the unseasonal highs we have witnessed this week, the weather will still be dry and pleasant – but please don’t shoot the messenger. A final opportunity perhaps to leave the sweater in the car. You may even get away with wearing shorts.
There is plenty to do in the People’s Republic of Coventry this weekend, and this is our quick guide to what’s on.
