Winner of Godiva Family Friendly Award


Hey! We won the 'Best Family Friendly Venture' at the Godiva Awards 2009 held at Warwick Arts Centre on Thursday 22nd October! The prestigious awards are held annually to applaud and celebrate excellence in Coventry and Warwickshire and are a leading event in the region recognising businesses with creativity, flair, ingenuity and commitment.

The Museum is dedicated to welcoming families and carers with children of all ages and has recently collaborated with nine other museums across Coventry and Warwickshire to plan and deliver programmes and activities specifically targeted at families with children under-five years. As part of this the Museum launched a range of family-friendly activities this summer which included a soft play area, story corner, a full size Peugeot which children can climb all over for an interactive experience, and a dedicated play area with toys for 0-3 year olds, all of which were well-received by visiting families. It has also recently completed a number of improvements to facilities, including a dedicated buggy parking area, better Mother and Baby rooms and picnic areas for families, making it a truly parent friendly venue.

The Museum is one of the most visited family attractions in the Midlands and offers something to every member of the family from children to grandparents with all activities and galleries designed to encourage quality family time together. It has a vibrant programme of activities combining education and entertainment throughout the year and organises popular activity programmes during every school holidays which welcome young and the old alike. This commitment to excellence as a family venue in all aspects of the Museum’s work was exalted at the Godiva Awards night.
