St Mary's Guildhall - Coventry

St Mary’s Guildhall may be small, but it is full of beauty and intricate details. The highlight of our visit was the fantastic tour of the main hall and upstairs area. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the stunning tapestry, stained glass, and hidden details we would have otherwise missed. We didn’t catch her name, but we truly appreciate her enthusiasm and expertise!

There were also activities and dress-up options perfect for children, making it a great stop for families. We were fortunate to receive free entry through our stay at Coombe Abbey Hotel, which made the experience even better. A wonderful place to explore Coventry’s rich history—highly recommended!

Booked the Mulled wine and tour experience. At £7 each, it was worth every penny. Our guide Finn was knowledgeable and very entertaining, keeping the whole group engaged throughout the tour.
The building is stunning and the history of Coventry and the people of the city are steeped in every room, wall and tapestry.
Our next visit will include food too as the cafe looked great.

Definitely a place to visit while in Coventry. Full of history, the staff is more than welcoming and also they are very happy to share their knowledge about the place with everyone else. Highly recommend a visit to this place.

Visited St. Mary’s Guildhall, had an absolutely first class guided tour by Marion, who explained so much excellent historical information, she really did a great job and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The cafe was great, very atmospheric in the undercroft with the stone vaulted ceiling.

Would highly recommend visiting here as we did today for the mulled wine and tour of the building. It was so informative and very interesting with the help of Finn who led us around. Thank you

Amazing building, has had a large renovation over the past few years, is a little pricy to get in but the building is very well worth paying to get in and look round. Some areas you have to be a little careful in if you are tall as was built when people were shorter..you can walk round self guiding or get an interactive tablet that will inform you in each room. The roof bosses in the main hall are very good, but sit on a chair to look up at the roof to cut down on the neck ache.

Really enjoyed the 'Tales of Tea'. Outstanding food, terrific atmosphere and good service. We enjoyed the meat-based sandwiches, mini-quiche and sausage rolls (as well as delicious I us cakes, scone with clotted creame etc). Vegan, gluten-free and plant based options are available and looked good too.
