Itinerary

  • Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall

    Visitors are invited to explore the very building in which young William Shakespeare was educated in the 1570s. Films provide background information about Shakespeare's school days and the historic significance of Stratford-upon-Avon's Guildhall.  Built in 1420, this building is one of only a few remaining medieval Guildhalls in the country. Knowledgeable and passionate guides will bring the many stories to life about the building's role in Stratford's civic life over the centuries and how the Shakespeare family was involved. See the Council Chamber, where William Shakespeare's father served as Bailiff (Mayor) and the room where Shakespeare first witnessed performances by some of the country's greatest actors. Participate in a Tudor lesson and brush up on your Latin. With this interactive and engaging visitor experience for all ages, you can dress up in Tudor-style for a 'selfie,' play Tudor games, get messy with quill and ink, and marvel at the medieval wall paintings.

We pre-booked the date and time slot as we had the explorer pass as we expected it to be busy. We found it very interesting and the commentary from the guides was a bonus. There was lots to see and do too such as writing with an ink quive.

The School That Made Shakespeare Shakespeare.

Published on Mar, 2025

Don't overlook this Stratford-upon-Avon gem that too few visit. You may have gone to Shakespeare's home, now go see the schooling and experience that helped form this genius. Still used today by students of the King Edward VI school until its opening time at 11:00 it is living history. Information on Shakespeare's training in Latin and the classics to his exposure to traveling actors plays are brilliantly presented by the docents including Schoolmaster Jenkins.
