Shakespeare's Birthplace

Don’t forget Shakespeare’s Birthplace if you’re planning days out with the kids in Warwickshire! Located in Stratford-upon-Avon, this is the house where William Shakespeare grew up and where he spent the first years with his wife, Anne Hathaway.

Take a fascinating glimpse into the playwright’s early world, learn about life at the time as you enjoy the Famous Beyond Words exhibition. The guides will captivate you with tales of Shakespeare’s father’s business ventures.

Family visits will come to life with trails, quizzes and puzzles for children. Look out for live performances of Shakespeare’s plays from the house’s very own troupe of professional actors, Shakespeare Aloud!
