Expand the imagination and creativity of each student in your English class with a school tour to Stratford-upon-Avon – Shakespeare's birthplace and the home to his wife's cottage along with his mother's farm. Stratford-upon-Avon truly is a step-back in time and a walking tour will allow students to learn about how the life and history of Shakespeare has had an impact on the town itself. Our specialists can coordinate a Royal Shakespeare Theatre tour as well as workshops where teachers can decide the text the students will work on to help them understand the dialogue in a new and exciting way. The opportunity to investigate landscapes and historical contents that influenced Shakespeare’s works is an invaluable experience and this school trip will greatly benefit English studies when returning to the classroom.

Excursions

Royal Shakespeare Theatre

Let your group get immersed in a live theatre production of a Shakespeare adaptation at this iconic theatre, which dates back to 1879 and features a ‘one-room’ theatre – allowing the plays to appear as they did when they were first produced more than 400 years ago. Guided tours also allow students to explore both the public and private areas of this famous theatre, where they can learn all about the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Shakespeare's Houses

Believed to be the birthplace of William Shakespeare in 1564, this restored 16th century house is now open as a museum dedicated to the playwright. It’s one thing to hear of such artifacts from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s collections, but another to let students get up close with them while they hear stories of the great Bard's life from entertaining costumed guides. An excursion we know language and literature students will love.
