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.

Where can I visit at Shakespeare's Family Homes?

Shakespeare's Birthplace

  • Find out where it all began for William Shakespeare when you visit Shakespeare's Birthplace in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon. Hear the stories of a young Shakespeare and his family life and observe the excellently preserved artefacts on display. 

Anne Hathaway's Cottage

  • Relive Shakespeare's love story at Anne Hathaway's Cottage. It is at this beautiful site where Anne was born and raised, before she married William at the age of 26. Uncover five centuries of stories of the family that lived here for 13 generations. 

Shakespeare's New Place

  • Shakespeare's home for 19 years, the house at Shakespeare's New Place no longer exists, but is now the site of a simply stunning garden with specially-commissioned artworks. There's no better place to explore the legacy that Shakespeare has on the world today. 

The Shakespeare Story 3-in-1

  • Visit all three of these fantastic sites with The Shakespeare Story 3-in-1 Ticket! There's plenty of things to do at each of the heritage sites, so this is the best ticket to get to ensure that you don't miss anything on your days out in Stratford-upon-Avon. 

Explore History at Shakespeare's Birthplace today

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.
