With the autumn leaves falling, Christmas isn't far away, and soon the magnificent Great Hall will be dressed for our festive lunches and dinners. 

If you’re organising a Christmas outing for your office, a catch up with friends and family, or an exclusive evening event for your organisation, why not take a look at what the beautiful Guildhall has to offer, and enjoy a Christmas get together with all the trimmings?

The Guildhall's magnificent, late medieval tapestry was the focus of a conference in September, when a panel of academics and leading experts shared new interpretations and opinions with the large audience.

With fresh thinking presented on the manufacture, date, origins and meaning of this internationally important artwork, it is hoped the presentations will be collated for publication. There are also plans to update the display, lighting and environmental protection of the tapestry in coming months.

The rarely seen space of the Muniment Room at St Mary's Guildhall has been chosen as a venue for a special exhibition of contemporary art.

Inspired by the room's history as an archive store, the exhibition explores themes of 'Air' and 'Archive' through diverse artworks, including a collection of named storms in jars, and one artist's interpretation of her Greek Cypriot heritage. Part of the Coventry Biennial festival, the exhibition is free to visit, Tuesdays to Fridays, until 22 November.
