St Mary's Guildhall wins Tripadvisor Traveller's Choice Award

A Grade-I listed Coventry attraction has been ranked among Trip Advisor’s best places to visit for the second year running.

St Mary’s Guildhall, the 14th century heritage venue in Coventry’s Cathedral Quarter, has been awarded the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, with overwhelmingly positive feedback meaning the medieval building is ranked alongside locations like the Eiffel Tower and the Colosseum.

The accolade is presented to destinations ranked in the top 10 per cent of worldwide listings on the platform.

The venue, which has been operated by No Ordinary Hospitality Management (NOHM) since reopening two years ago, is one of England’s best preserved medieval guildhalls and boasts a diverse history with many uses throughout the years, from an English Civil War armoury to a Victorian soup kitchen.

Abi Moore, heritage and venue manager at St Mary’s Guildhall, said: “We are incredibly grateful to all who visited and left positive reviews over the last year to help us retain this award.

“We have a fantastic team who do their best to help all guests make the most of their visit, and this is recognition of the brilliant job they do.

“There is so much history preserved in our building and we are all about helping people discover the hidden stories from the city’s, and indeed Britain’s, past.

“We are now looking forward to an exciting summer with a host of activities planned to help families and visitors from across the country discover St Mary’s Guildhall.”

The activity of visitor programs at St Mary’s Guildhall is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and made possible thanks to National Lottery players, to help enhance accessibility to the heritage attraction.
