The National Trust has announced the date that the Charterhouse will re-open under their management.  

From Wednesday 21 May, one of the Midlands’ finest historic landmarks will reopen as part of the National Trust!

Coventry Charterhouse, a beautifully restored 14th-century Carthusian monastery, which is home to rare 15th and 16th-century wall paintings, picturesque walled gardens, will reopen ready to offer a wide range of family-friendly activities throughout the year.

National Trust, together with Historic Coventry Trust, John Muir Trust, a dedicated team of staff and the support of over 160 local volunteers, will be starting a new chapter as a place to connect with nature and heritage in the heart of Coventry.

Celebrate its reopening this May half-term and have a go at family-friendly blossom crafts, arrange an immersive guided tour and take in Charterhouse’s many layers of history.

The offering will include a new café run by Farmers Fayre offering breakfasts, brunch, lunches, takeaway coffees and afternoon teas. Farmers Fayre also run cafés at Stoneleigh Park and Ryton Pools.

The programme for Charterhouse includes the display of the Helios Sculpture by Luke Jerram in August.
