Visit the family of homes of William Shakespeare for a wonderful family day out in Stratford-upon-Avon
Looking to see Shakespeare's Family Homes on your Stratford-upon-Avon visit? You've come to the right place!
Shakespeare's Family Homes, cared for by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, have opened their doors to everyone, so we can all sneak a peek into history and see what life was like for one of the greatest storytellers the world has ever seen.
What's perhaps the most fascinating thing about the works of William Shakespeare is how much we can still relate to them today. Stories of star-crossed lovers, family feuds, war, heartbreak, timeless comedy, we see them time and time again in all walks of modern life.
His stories have stood the test of time, and with the help of Shakespeare's Family Homes, we can now explore the story of William Shakespeare himself in his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon.
