Heritage Open Days in Coventry will take place from Friday 6 September to Sunday 15 September 2024.
The national theme across the UK for this event is Routes, Networks and Connections.
This year we will be celebrating how people and ideas have moved around and come together throughout history. The transport routes, communication networks, trade unions and social clubs.
Heritage Open Days are a great showcase for Coventry’s fascinating and rich history with obvious gems like Coventry’s old and new Cathedrals, St Mary’s Guildhall, Holy Trinity Church and many more.
