Located in the corner of the Cathedral Ruins, the Blitz Museum is a treasure trove of 1940's 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.
Normal opening hours
The Blitz Museum will be reopening over February half-term 2025, head to Coventry Cathedral Tower Climb and Blitz Museum for up to date information on the opening days and times.
The Blitz Museum is normally open on every Saturday 11-3pm and Sunday 12-3pm between late February and mid-October, as well as on weekdays during Coventry school holidays. As we are a very small volunteer led team this may change at short notice.
We recommend checking on our Facebook page Coventry Cathedral Tower Climb and Blitz Museum on the day of your visit in case of any changes to our opening hours, or alternatively by calling 02476 521232.
The Blitz Museum is manned entirely by our dedicated volunteers who give up their free time in order to support it, so visitors should arrive in good time to visit before the Museum closes.
The Museum is a treasure trove of wartime artefacts and we recommend allowing at least 20 minutes for your visit to ensure that you have ample time to browse.
Our Education team offer a variety of options for exciting and immersive experiences for all Key Stages. Find out more here.
