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.
