Visit Coventry Cathedral, the UK’s favourite 20th Century building, where splendid medieval history meets modern architecture to stunning and poignant effect. Discover over 1000 years of history across the Coventry Cathedral campus. Explore the early medieval craftsmanship, see the Ruins destroyed in the Coventry Blitz during WW2, now recognised as an international symbol of hope, and step inside the New Cathedral featuring works by some of the greatest artists of the 1950s and 60s. Experience a journey like no other.
A guided tour is the best way to fully appreciate our ‘casket of jewels’ – one of our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides will lead your group through the history of the Ruins, the Blitz, and the building of the New Cathedral.
There are many aspects to the Cathedral aside from its history, including the architecture and Basil Spence’s vision, the arts contained within the building and the artists who created them, and the story of reconciliation which continues today, and our guides are happy to focus on any area which particularly interests your group.
