Tucked into the corner of the Cathedral Ruins, the Blitz Museum is a treasure trove of 1940s memorabilia and artefacts — a brilliant free day out for all the family during half-term. Visitors are guided through a period school room to learn about the Coventry Blitz on 14th November 1940, before stepping through a recreation of a typical wartime home, brought to life by the museum's incredibly knowledgeable and friendly volunteers.

Please note the museum is entirely volunteer-run, so opening times may change at short notice. Follow the Facebook page for the latest updates before you visit.
