A council-run Christmas market of festive cabins in Broadgate, at the heart of Coventry city centre, running from late November into the new year.

Coventry City Council sets up its Christmas market in Broadgate, around the Lady Godiva statue. For 2025 the council described a new layout of wooden cabins selling street food and drinks, such as bratwurst, mulled wine and Yorkshire pudding wraps, alongside craft and gift stalls.

The 2025 market added a fire-pit area for toasting marshmallows, extra seating and photo spots, and ran from late November right through to the first weekend of January. In recent years the council has paired the market with a big wheel in the city centre (a separately ticketed ride).

Entry is free. The council notes that opening times can change in bad weather, and the market is closed on Christmas Day.
