Best Things To Do & Days Out In Coventry, West Midlands
Experience the best of history and innovation, wrapped up in a big family-friendly bow, with our list of great things to do in Coventry.
The heart of any city is the cathedral and Coventry Cathedral has that little bit extra to offer. Visitors will receive a warm and friendly welcome from the chaplains and guides there, who are on hand to give you information, tell you stories and take you around this impressive, historical building.
Wander amongst the ruins, which is now home to The Blitz Museum that contains reconstructed rooms from the 1940s. Stand inside one and imagine how it felt when the sirens went off during the war. In the summer months climb to the top of the tower for lovely views over the city.
The Coventry family days out claim-to-fame is The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, which won The Guardian Family Friendly Museum Award in 2010. Children are well catered for with workshops and events that showcase what life was like in Coventry years ago.
The nearby War Memorial Park has a special feature. During the summer months the Splash n Play Park is open in school holidays and has enough water features to keep children happy for as long as the sun is shining! The adventure playground is open all year round, as is the skate park. If you happen to have a football or tennis racket on you then the courts are free to use or partake in a friendly family game of Pitch and Putt.
For a park with a view visit Cauldon Castle Park. The playground compliments a long open stretch of green and is set against the backdrop of the castle ruins.
