City of Culture 'very happy' with response to programmepublished at 14:41 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021
The chief executive of Coventry City of Culture said he was "very happy with how things landed" after details of the summer's progeamme were revealed on Tuesday.
"People are really looking forward to getting involved," Martin Sutherland said.
Responding to some criticism that there was not enough detail in some of the "surprise" elements, including the launch of Coventry Moves on 15 May, Mr Sutherland said it was partly due to having to remain flexible due to the changing situation around coronavirus.
"We have to be responsible, we have to make safety paramount and we have to follow government guidelines," he said.
"Ultimately we want to keep some of our surprises and we will make sure people have a good time on 15 May."
