£330,000 subsidy for this year. Maybe it's time to stop flogging the horse: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9vypvy0188o£330,000 subsidy for this year. Maybe it's time to stop flogging the horse: [url]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9vypvy0188o[/url]

If it's not paying its way, time to stop it! Local taxpayers shouldn't be expected to subsidise this little vanity project of the council.

It's not really something I ever fancied going to, even when it was free. Godiva is still a fraction of the price of most other festivals, though; perhaps Godiva fans have had it too good for too long.

Seems to be quite a lot of discontent on social media

It's still heavily subsidised: I wonder how long before the council realise that they can not only remove the subsidy but actually make a profit?
To be fair, I did read more than a few complaints about this year's event. I hope that lessons have been learned for the future.

Looks like entrance charges are here to stay, although £2 isn't a lot: [url]https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-godiva-festival-tickets-cost-17072405[/url]

Another shambles by CCC. Had they kept to budget this wouldn't be necessary. They really aren't fit to run a bath!
Social-media scuttlebutt is that it will kill the festival.
City of culture? The only culture this city has is the type that grows in a Petrie dish.
