Stratford ready for Will’s 450th birthday

STRATFORD-UPON-AVON is getting ready to celebrate the 450th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth, believed to have been on April 23, 1564.

The town’s celebrations will be on April 26 and 27, when thousands of visitors are expected. There will be an extended programme of events and activities at the five Shakespeare family homes and free entertainment in the streets and parks. The Royal Shakespeare Company will be running a range of free activities in and around its theatres on April 26, including storytelling sessions, stage fighting workshops and the chance to see how fake scars and bruises are created.


The festivities start with a 1,000 strong procession and finishes with the laying of flowers on Shakespeare’s grave at Holy Trinity Church.
