FAMILY FUN
MotoFest is an event to be enjoyed as a family. All of our live and static displays are child-safe. (We would recommend you bring ear defenders if your little ones have sensitive ears!) We also have a range of free activities specially chosen to engage and entertain our younger visitors.
Mini Rovers
A great opportunity for your little ones to have a go at driving on a circuit made especially for them in cars to match their size! Come and find them on Greyfriars Green.
Fairground Rides
Keep the kids entertained at MotoFest by visiting the fairground located in the heart of MotoFest on Warwick Road.
Face painting
Get the kids creative minds going with face painting on Greyfriars Green.
Coventry Transport Museum
Coventry Transport Museum is a great place to immerse yourselves in the history of Coventry’s automotive contributions with plenty of family friendly activities in store.
Parks and play areas
There are several parks and play areas across the city where you can rest and the kids can play! Why not check out the newest play area by Methodist Central Hall in the heart of MotoFest? Or Naul’s Mill Underpark (which has a climbing wall) or Coventry University’s Starley Gardens?
