William Shakespeare's Birthplace

The place where it all started!

In 1564, Stratford-upon-Avon's most famous resident was born in this beautiful house in the centre of town.

William Shakespeare would go on to revolutionise English literature, writing 38 plays including Hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet.

His was a true rags to riches story, in a time where aristocracy ruled the roost.

Still the world's most famous writer and dramatist, he is lauded for his ability to highlight complex issues of human nature that are still relevant today!

See the humble beginngings of the son of a lowly glovemaker who would, one day, change the world.

Complete with period accurate furnishings and original artefacts like the first folio, step back into the life of 'The Bard' himself.
