Culture

A stone’s throw from Shakespeare’s homeland and it was voted the 2021 UK city of culture – Coventry is alive with arts and culture and you won’t struggle to find inspiring things to see and do here. Make the most of the numerous free cultural activities by filling your time with trips to the Herbert Art Gallery, admire the architecture of the Coventry Cathedral, immerse yourself in the variety of museums across the city, and if music and theatre are your thing, keep your eye out for what’s on at the Belgrade Theatre and the iconic Royal Shakespeare Theatre in neighbouring Stratford Upon Avon.

Eating & drinking

Coventry boasts a huge and delicious array of restaurants and bars across the city for you to explore. Take your pick from the city’s many historic pubs – the jewel in the crown being the Old Windmill, which is the oldest pub in Coventry, dating back to 1451.
