Coventry residents with a Go CV+ card are being welcomed to Coventry Charterhouse to visit for free, making it easier to access heritage, green space and nature in the city centre.

Working alongside Coventry City Council, the National Trust is making the offer available for the first time since taking on the management of Coventry Charterhouse in 2025. The initiative opens up the historic site to thousands of local people, with more than 8,860 Go CV+ cardholders across Coventry now able to benefit.

The move reflects a wider commitment to making the Charterhouse a welcoming place for the people of Coventry. It builds on a growing programme of community-led activities developed with organisations, artists, schools and community groups, offering an ongoing calendar of events, workshops and activities for locals.

Coventry Charterhouse is a 14th-century former monastery founded in 1381, once home to a silent order of monks who lived peacefully off the land. It sits within Coventry’s Heritage Park, one mile from the city centre, offering a peaceful place to explore the city’s history and spend time away from the bustle of everyday life.

Free entry for Go CV+ cardholders means residents can explore the historic building and walled garden at no cost, while also enjoying the café and the surrounding wildlife-rich grounds.

Go CV is Coventry City Council’s free scheme for residents that provides access to offers on events, activities and attractions across the city, plus savings from local businesses. Go CV+ is part of Go CV and allows those who meet eligible criteria to access even great offers and discounts.
