Step back in time and explore St Mary’s Guildhall, a medieval treasure in the heart of Coventry city centre. With both guided and digital self-guided tours available, visitors can uncover 700 years of rich history and walk in the footsteps of royalty.
Once at the centre of power during the War of the Roses, St Mary’s Guildhall has housed the Crown Jewels, served as a prison for Mary Queen of Scots, and hosted literary figures such as George Eliot. It’s a place where history truly comes to life.
In the Great Hall, marvel at the Coventry Tapestry, a stunning piece of art that has remained in its original location for 500 years. Then, explore the recently uncovered medieval kitchen, one of the finest in the country, hidden for over a century.
Join one of our daily guided tours at 11am and 2:30pm*, led by our knowledgeable guides, or enjoy a hands-on experience with our digital self-guided tour, where historical figures are brought to life.
Located on Bayley Lane, next to the Coventry Cathedral ruins, St Mary’s Guildhall offers an unforgettable journey into England’s past.
