Stage Hands and Event Crew in Coventry

Coventry was UK City of Culture in 2021 and has a growing events profile. The Coventry Building Society Arena, in the north of the city, hosts football, rugby and concerts, and the Warwick Arts Centre at the University of Warwick is one of the largest arts centres outside London. The Cathedral Quarter and Coventry Cathedral provide heritage settings, and the Transport Museum and Coombe Abbey Park host events. The city's car manufacturing and engineering heritage supports trade and corporate events, and it sits close to the NEC and Birmingham, making it a convenient base for crews.

Planning checklist for events in Coventry

• Confirm load-in times, loading bay or access route and parking with the venue or site manager
• Check any noise, curfew or road-closure restrictions that affect build and get-out times
• Send your RAMS, site rules and call sheet so the crew can be briefed properly
• Decide whether you need a crew chief, forklift cover or specialist rigging support
