St Mary’s Guildhall has been recognised as one of the region’s top visitor attractions for a fourth year running after reaching the finals of the West Midlands Tourism Awards 2026.
The 14th-century venue is up for the Small Visitor Attraction of the Year prize at next year’s ceremony, which will see other top destinations across the West Midlands celebrated for their contributions to the region’s vibrant visitor economy.
The Guildhall has enjoyed success at the awards in each of the years it has been managed by the team at No Ordinary Hospitality since reopening as a major visitor attraction.
Jayne Pyatt, Marketing Manager at St Mary’s Guildhall, said, “St Mary’s Guildhall continues to evolve and inspire thanks to the efforts of our staff and partners. Being recognised in this way reflects our ambition not just to preserve the past, but to share it in an engaging and meaningful way with as many people as possible. Reaching the finals once again is a real honour.”
The judging panel praised the Guildhall’s community-focused approach, noting that its collaborative ethos “punches above the attraction’s size” and brings genuine economic benefits to Coventry. Judges also commended the team’s ability to keep history relevant by integrating contemporary experiences and encouraging the community to be part of the venue’s ongoing story.
