🚶♀️Join us on this walk around the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon to hear tales of plague, murder, ghosts, beatings, witches, sewage and grave-robbing.
And as we tour the streets of Stratford, like so many who have come before you, you will be unable to escape the clutches of Shakespeare as he permeates so much around us!
✨ 120 minute in depth tour
Meeting Point
The top of Sheep Street next to the phone box, on the corner of High Street, opposite the Town Hall, the Old Bank (HSBC) and the Garrick Inn, CV37 6EF. If you can see the river, you’re in the wrong place! There is a pin for the Platinum Jubilee Tree on Google Maps on this corner, exactly where the walks start.
Guide
Our tour guide Joe will be leading this tour, spot him in his red and black Tailcoat or a Long Leather Coat, Black Top Hat, Cane with a Skull on it. In peak season, there might be a lot of men wandering about looking a little bit like that – especially with the hat. Only one of them should be at the start point at the right time.
More information on his website. Please look here for meeting point, weather info etc.
