“Fantastic, immersive, scholarly experience.” Florida International University, USA

There’s no better place to study Shakespeare’s life, works and legacy than in one of the historic houses in Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon.

Spend a couple of days or several weeks exploring ‘all things Shakespeare’ with our experts in the beautiful settings of Hall’s Croft (home to Susanna Shakespeare) and Harvard House (built in 1596).
