Our Heritage Day promises a memorable journey through centuries of history, offering unique insights into the past and the present of this historic site. You will have the extraordinary opportunity to ring the church bells, an age-old tradition that has called communities together for generations. Feel the resonance of history as you pull the ropes, connecting with those who have done the same over the centuries.

A visit to the tower is also on the agenda, providing a chance to enjoy breath taking views of Coventry. As you ascend the steps, imagine the countless individuals who have made the same climb, witnessing the city evolve over the centuries. Our exhibits delve into the rich history of St. Mary's and the local area, bringing to life the stories that have shaped this remarkable community. From medieval times to the present day, learn about the pivotal events and everyday lives that have contributed to the tapestry of our shared heritage.

For our younger visitors, we have prepared engaging activity sheets designed to make history fun and accessible. These sheets are filled with puzzles, drawings, and facts that will help children connect with the past in an interactive way, ensuring a delightful and educational experience.

Heritage Day at St. Mary's is not just about looking back; it's about celebrating the ongoing story of our community and we look forward to welcoming you to a day filled with discovery, reflection and joy.
