One of the oldest and grandest buildings in the city, this medieval guildhall has been hosting Coventry's great and good since the 1340s - which means it's seen off plague, civil war, and the Blitz, so your toddler's meltdown shouldn't faze it. Inside you'll find stunning stained glass, a magnificent great hall, and the kind of history that makes kids go "whoa" before they've even been told to. It hosts everything from guided tours to live events, and somehow manages to feel both properly ancient and genuinely welcoming.
