Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham, B12 9QH

Yes, it's in Birmingham - but so is every decent arts venue within an hour of Coventry, so don't let that put you off. The Midlands Arts Centre sits prettily in Cannon Hill Park and packs in theatre, film, galleries, workshops, and a café into one very likeable building. It's the kind of place where kids get genuinely absorbed in something creative whilst you nurse a coffee and feel quietly smug about your parenting choices.
