Your day out in Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon is a picturesque riverside town brimming with history, charm, and culture. Here are some ideas to make the most of your visit.

Explore Shakespeare’s Story - Visit Shakespeare’s Birthplace, the timbered house where he grew up, and Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, a thatched beauty surrounded by gardens. Both a must-see for Shakespeare fans.

Voyage on the Avon - Take a riverside walk along the peaceful River Avon, or if you’re feeling adventurous, hop on one of the little river cruises to get a different perspective of the town.

Visit the Royal Shakespeare Theatre - No coach day trip to Stratford is complete without a visit to the Royal Shakespeare Company. Catch a matinee or simply explore the theatre’s rooftop restaurant.

Discover Historic Treasures - The town’s Tudor architecture and Holy Trinity Church (where Shakespeare is buried) offer something truly special. Find centuries of English history all within a few short streets.

Browse the shops - Love a good find? Wander through Stratford's markets and boutique shops, where you’ll find everything from local crafts to quirky souvenirs.

When the visit winds down, your return coach will be waiting – so you can sit back, share stories, and maybe doze a little on the journey home.
