Stratford-upon-Avon proudly holds the title of the world’s literary capital—a living, breathing canvas of 16th-century Tudor heritage and world-class theatrical prestige. Within an easy, strollable circuit, five magnificent Shakespeare Birthplace Trust properties and the iconic Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) ready to be added to your next itinerary:
Shakespeare’s Birthplace – the timber-framed house on Henley Street where the Bard was born and raised.
Anne Hathaway’s Cottage – the iconic, thatched-roof family home set within nine acres of sprawling cottage gardens.
The Swan Theatre – the RSC’s intimate, thrust-stage masterpiece showcasing the pinnacle of contemporary and classic drama.
Holy Trinity Church – the historic riverside resting place of Shakespeare, featuring his infamous carved gravestone curse.
American, Canadian, and European groups consistently vote a dedicated Stratford-upon-Avon performance and heritage day as the absolute standout highlight of their entire UK trip.
Because we specialise in special-interest travel across the heart of Britain, we can offer exclusive extras at competitive rates:
Private, after-hours twilight tours of Shakespeare’s Birthplace away from the daytime crowds.
Exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the RSC’s world-largest in-house costume workshop.
