About St Mary’s Guildhall
St Mary’s Guildhall is one of the finest Guildhall’s in the country, a rare survivor of the English Civil War and the Blitz. With its rich history of partying, power and propaganda, the Guildhall has acted as the centre of power in England during the War of the Roses, housed the crowns jewels, been the
prison of Mary Queen of Scots and hosted famous literary figures such as George Eliot. It is home to the newly unveiled medieval kitchen and the famous Coventry Tapestry.
St Mary’s Guildhall offers a variety of primary age focused workshops, designed to inspire historical enquiry, ignite imaginations and engage learners. The Guildhall is based in the heart of Coventry’s medieval quarter, next to the Cathedral ruins and is an ideal place to learn out history.
“It was very informative, the pupils liked learning about Coventry's history and really enjoyed trying on costumes and learning how to weave. It was fun and the staff were really friendly.”
“We loved the interactive aspect of this workshop. We thought it was great. Staff were really engaging, inclusive and helpful.”
