The Tin at The Coal Vaults is a unique, multi-use arts venue which doubles up as the perfect alternative wedding reception venue.

The venue’s unique and intimate setting makes for a genuinely stand-alone and incomparable location for an occasion.

The 18th-century former coal storage building in Coventry Canal Basin oozes character with exposed brick walls and vaulted ceilings.

Its somewhat industrial style creates the perfect backdrop, giving the space a distinctive sense of charm and character whilst remaining versatile enough to be personalised and adapted to suit your taste. The two vaults, one of which contains a fully licensed bar stocked with locally sourced ales, wine, and spirits with a seating area, the other has a built-in stage and dance floor.

The venue is on one level and is fully wheelchair accessible. The maximum capacity across the two vaults is 150 people. However, this intimate venue doesn’t feel empty with 30 to 40 guests. Although we don’t offer in-house catering (outside catering is welcome) and the space in front of the venue can accomodate food trucks.

We offer a range of optional extras, license extension until 2 am (available Friday and Saturday), optional in-house DJ, and technical equipment such as our projector and backline (piano, guitar amps, microphones, and monitors).

Included in the venue hire price is use of our house PA system for live or recorded music.

Although we are not registered for legal ceremonies many of our couples have held 'faux' ceremonies, including a Little Las Vegas themed service with Elvis as celebrant!

The Tin Music and Arts is a unique and affordable wedding venue situated in Coventry, West Midlands.

Testimonials

“My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Tin last weekend, and it was the perfect venue! Its comfortable, retro feel perfectly fit in with how we wanted our wedding – it is such a cool and versatile space, which was easily dressed up for a wedding with fairy lights and candles, in the same way that it smoothly transformed into a party at night. Me and my husband 100% recommend this venue for genuinely any event you’re having – it is such a hidden gem!

During the planning and preparation for our wedding, Sarah and the team at the Tin were the kindest, most helpful people! Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they instantly got on-board with our unusual ideas, despite the extra effort it would cost them! E.G. we had a signature cocktail for the night, and had all of our guests request songs on their RSVPs, meaning a lot of extra effort for their bartenders and house DJ.” Shelby Judge

“If you’re thinking of throwing an event anytime soon and looking for a venue to hire, then this is the place for you! I had a fabulous time at my mothers 50th party. They have a fabulous team who are friendly, delightful to talk to. Music sounded great and was a simple and quick set up for DJ thanks to the venue kit and staff. My family loved the vintage and homely feel to the place. We only had 30 guests come but it didn’t feel empty. I will definitely be visiting in future.” Zowie Cunningham
