Heritage Open Day: Explore what life was like in wartime Coventry... Transport yourself back to 1940's Coventry in our Blitz Museum. Located in the corner of Coventry Cathedral Ruins, the Blitz Museum is a treasure trove of 1940s memorabilia and artefacts. Visitors will learn more about the Coventry Blitz on 14th November 1940 in our period school room, and will then travel through a typical house of the time and learn more about life in this era from one of our friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Free to visit, great for the whole family, ran by a team of knowledgeable volunteers.
