Volunteers

We will need lots of help, in many varied ways, in order to ensure the fair is a big success. If you would like to help before the day with publicity such as leafletting round the local area or displaying posters on noticeboards, please contact us. Likewise, if you could help on the day itself with lifting & carrying, setting up tables etc; in the kitchen washing up; in the hall clearing tables and serving food; handing out questionnaires & running the raffle; or out in the street leafletting passers-by to entice them in, please contact us. Even just an hour or two of your time will help us to help people change their diets for the better!!


Location, directions & car parking

St. John the Baptist Church is in Coventry City Centre, on the corner of Corporation Street and Spon Street, opposite the lower shopping precinct and within 10 minutes walk of the train and bus stations.

We regret there is no space for either stallholder or visitor parking at the church. However there is ample parking at the nearby Belgrade Plaza (junction 9 off the ringroad) which is 24 hour, multi storey and very reasonable pricewise. Disabled parking with Blue Badge is no longer available in Hill Street, the council have made this a no loading area.
