Shakespeare's Birthplace

About

Experience the humble beginnings of the ordinary boy from Stratford-upon-Avon who went on to do extraordinary things. Discover his global influence and see how he continues to shape our lives today.

Explore the home where spent his childhood and the early years of his marriage to Anne, and discover the workshop where Shakespeare’s father John ran his prestigious trade as a glove maker.

Get up close to rare artefacts from the world’s largest public Shakespeare museum, library and archive, including a 400-year-old Folio of his complete works, and wander through the beautiful garden where you can enjoy the sights and smells of plants and flowers that Shakespeare would have known or wrote about his plays and poems.

Shakespeare’s Birthplace is cared for by Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, an independent charity. Every purchase and donation helps care for the world's greatest Shakespeare heritage in his home town of Stratford-upon-Avon.
