The Tin Music and Arts

The Tin Music and Arts offers event organisers two distinctive spaces in Coventry's Canal Basin. The main venue, known as The Coal Vaults, occupies former 18th-century coal storage tunnels. Its exposed brickwork and curved ceilings give it a characterful setting for private events, while the two connected vaults provide different areas for guests to gather. One has a bar and raised seating area, and the other features a stage and dance floor, making the venue suitable for celebrations and events with live entertainment.

Next door, the Community Space is a bright, adaptable L-shaped room with large windows overlooking the canal. It can be arranged for a range of uses, including meetings, conferences, exhibitions, workshops, children’s parties, health classes and rehearsals. The two spaces offer organisers different atmospheres and layouts, from a heritage music venue to a more open room for community or business activities.

The Tin is also an established live music and arts venue, with a programme featuring local, UK and international performers. Its team supports a varied range of creative and community activity, and the organisation works with local partners on selected programmes. Both spaces are wheelchair accessible, and organisers can arrange an advance visit or walkthrough to discuss their requirements. Located in the Canal Basin, the venue is close to city-centre transport links and has parking nearby. The Tin Music and Arts provides a flexible Coventry setting for organisers seeking a venue with character and a strong connection to the city's cultural life.
