We asked on Facebook if you would be willing to pay, external to attend Coventry's Godiva Festival.

The council has said it might ask for contributions as it makes cuts to its services.

Daniel Smith said: "What about charging for parking while keeping entry free for those arriving on foot/bike/public transport"

Wayne Kerry said: " I think £5 for adults and £2 for kids and students and most would be happy with that. I never been but my daughter is going today so I know she wouldn't mind paying as I would end up paying it

Let us know your thoughts.

The future of the Godiva Festival hangs in the balance as the city council says it needs to look at new funding to keep it going.

Organiser Lee House told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's Bob Brolly she hopes the festival will be back for next year.

She said: "I've never known year on year whether it's going to happen, I'll have to wait until next year to find out."

She went on to say although most people would be willing to pay "the unique selling point of the festival is that we're free and it would be very difficult to change after 17 years."

Listen back to Bob's programme.

This year is the 17th Godiva Festival organised by Coventry City Council as a free family event.

It was cancelled in 2012 because of boggy conditions at a cost of almost £450,000 to the council.

The council estimates it generates £1.8m into the local economy through festival weekend.

I've been interviewing Councillor Abdul Khan about the future of the festival.

He says he can't promise Godiva will definitely run next year but they are looking at options to keep it going.

He said: "We might ask people for a contribution but the great thing about this festival is that it's free so we want to try and avoid that if possible."

Record numbers are expected at this year's Godiva Festival.

Last year 125,500 visited over three days, beating the previous record set in 2013.

Coventry city councillor Abdul Khan, cabinet member for events, said: "These are difficult times for the council, but the event is great for attracting people into the city which is good news for the local economy and the city's profile".

Coventry City Council say more than 20,000 people attended Friday night's festival for headliners Fun Lovin' Criminals. Godiva Festival tweets., external:

I'm heading down to War Memorial Park for Midlands Today, reporting on whether this could be the last ever Godiva Festival in it's current form.. I'll be asking families would they be willing to pay and what about the possibility of sponsorship?

The gates don't open until midday but people are already waiting to get onto the site.

Simon Ryan and his son Brendan, from Radford, are first in the queue, they arrived at 10:40.

There's three music tents for them to visit, with The Wombats headlining later tonight.

This is likely to be the last Godiva Festival funded entirely by the city council.

Councillor Kevin Maton, in charge of Coventry's events, says there will have to be a change because there isn't the level of council investment needed to maintain it.

He also says the council has to look at its funding of other events across the city as it bids for City of Culture 2021.

Back in February, the council approved plans to make £15m of cutbacks.
