Hillfields Festival by Nuala Pinson

Today there is a great fiesta,
Everyone is brother and sister,
Christening with music their new square
All Hillfields life and energy there.

Here beats the city's ancient heart
To exciting rhythms from world's apart.
Coventry's people in celebration
Are kith and kin from every nation

Come and enjoy the vibrant life
Of stalls and music,
          Abandon strife
Sing in the rain
          Dance in the sun
Welcome to Hillfields' day of fun.
