Walk in Shakespeare’s Footsteps and Explore His Childhood Home
Enjoy a live display of interactive theatre as you tour through Shakespeare’s childhood home. Known to be the place where he grew up and learned to write, this 16th century, half-timbered house is a pleasure to explore.
The house is now home to many rare artifacts that are under the care of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. Therefore, this expedition is perfect for anyone who is interested in the layout and running of a traditional 16th century home.
Of course, visitors that are fascinated by theatre or literature will be equally entertained, as the tour communicates how Shakespeare’s writing and plays have helped to shape society today.
Located on Harley Street in the center of Stratford-Upon-Avon, only 13 miles from Harbury Fields Farm, this is one historical attraction that shouldn’t be missed!
