Coventry’s Drapers’ Hall to reopen for youth music

The 19th Century music room will undergo a £8.5m transformation for the use of Coventry’s young musicians, having stood empty for more than two decades. Peter Knatchbull-Hugessen, clerk of the Higgs Charity which has announced the plans with Coventry University, said: “We want to establish somewhere for young people to learn and perform music.”
