Items from the Coventry Collection will be be on display and you'll have the chance to speak to Scott Duffin about how you can volunteer and get involved.

Chat Central is a great place to try new things, make new friends and get involved in your community.

All activities are FREE and open to adults (18+) living in

Coventry.

Local historian and author of Elephants of Coventry, Scott Duffin, is bringing the Coventry Collection right into the heart of Coventry Market. Scott’s passion for preserving the city’s heritage is something special, and he’ll be showcasing a fantastic mix of artefacts — from artwork and old bottles to coins, maps, photos, and even the famous Blitz piano. It’s a great chance to hear his stories and share in his love for all things Cov!

Scott’s also on the lookout for volunteers to help him keep the Coventry Collection open throughout the week. If you’ve got a few hours to spare and fancy supporting him — while sharing Coventry’s rich history with visitors — he’d love to have you on board.
