3 Best Places To Visit in Coventry, UK

Our family visited the Midland Air Museum on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It provided us with a captivating journey through the world and a history of aviation development in Europe. We were particularly delighted to discover that the museum is operated by passionate veterans who enthusiastically explained the various electronics and operations within the cockpit. It proved to be a fantastic outing lasting around 2-4 hours, perfect for both children and adults interested in exploring the rich history of aviation. The museum showcases a diverse array of old planes from various countries, all conveniently located in one place.

My hubby had been talking about visiting this place for ages. I myself was taken aback at the amount of pieces and information on display. Out doors is crammed with planes and trucks and is great for exploring. Hubby immediately took off for the Vulcan, where he got a detailed tour from a guide. He was so happy. Inside is just crammed full of detailed information and artifacts. Everywhere you look there is something to see with a really awesome backstory. It's a large museum and has something for all ages. It's well priced and the shop is full of goodies. The staff are lovely. Welcoming and helpful. Excellent place to visit. Really interesting.

A really nice aviation museum. A great selection of aircraft, some quite rare. lots of information on all the exhibits. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Its a shame that, like a lot of air museums, that a lot of exhibits are stored outside and suffer the consequences. A great little on site café provides tea, coffee and light meals to a very high standard. Also includes one of the best museum shops that I have seen. Highly recommended and not just for the aviation enthusiast.

What smashing folk, what a grand little collection of musical artefacts and 2tone treasures. Skankin' good centre piece to the marvellous two tone village, a stones throw from the centre of Coventry. Brought back so many memories of carefree times and musical innovation. And all for a fiver apiece! Give yourself enough time to browse the emporia and enjoy the delights of the two tone cafe. If you're really clever, you can coincide with a gig in the venue next to the museum. If you're doing a "This Town" trail, they've got costumes from the show and a recreation of the bar in the Zulu HQ, The Happy Trooper, at which stood members of the museum team as extras in that fight scene. Go and 'ave a look it's bostin'!

Great atmosphere, really helpful and knowledgeable volunteers who helped make the experience totally bespoke, cool little cafe and really friendly community at the 2 Tone Village. Proud to live just down the road from this! A lot of hard work and love has gone into this collection, lots of passion around when chatting to the staff, which is infectious..will be back!

Very interesting little museum with excellent volunteer staff who know lots about the Coventry music scene over the decades, and are happy to share information or take photos for you. I recommend you have a photo taken in the "car" that was used in the ghost town video???? Well worth a visit.
