Opening hours
We rely on a small staff team and the Great British weather to open the Tower safely, so whilst the climb and shop will ordinarily be open from 11am - 3pm on Saturday* sometimes things happen which may mean unexpected closures or reduced opening hours, particularly as we head into winter, so please check in advance by calling 02476 521232 or follow us on Facebook at Coventry Cathedral Tower for the latest updates.
*Please note that the Tower Climb is closed for the whole of January each year.

Take a photo of yourself or your favourite view and share it with us on Twitter @CovCathedral or Instagram: @Coventry_Cathedral and hashtag #covcathclimb.
Once you’ve climbed all 180 plus steps and taken in the magnificent views you can treat yourself to a little something from the Tower Gift Shop, open during Tower opening times.
And once you've conquered the climb why not continue your visit by transporting yourself back to 1940's Coventry in our Blitz Museum, exploring the Ruins, and following Basil Spence's vision into the New Cathedral.
