Walking Tour: Royal Coventry

Join local authors and historians Adam Wood and Laura Keep for a 90 minute stroll through Coventry regal history, as they reveal some of the stories of royal visits to Coventry over the centuries.

From James II's famous custard mishap and Princess Elizabeth's narrow escape from the Gunpowder Plot, to Henry VI bringing the Crown Jewels to Coventry and George VI’s moving wartime visits to our blitzed city, this tour is the perfect way to explore Coventry’s unique, historic connection to the crown.

Meet Adam and Laura at the Coventry Cross, besides Primark at 10.30am. The tour is a gentle stroll, and takes 90 minutes. It ends at the Guildhall at noon.
