Educational study courses for UK Schools and educational groups

The Shakespeare Houses offer a fun day out with real educational value. Each of the Houses has its own theme and together they bring Shakespeare's story vividly to life. Starting your visit to Stratford-upon-Avon with an  ''All About Shakespeare'' talk is an ideal combination for Primary Schools, while the '' Brush Up Your Shakespeare'' talk is a great way for secondary schools to begin their Shakespearean journey. Please contact the Groups Department to find out about ways to save further with the purchase of a combination ticket, as well as to find out more about UK Schools rates available for these talks. The Groups department can be reached by telephone on 01789 201806 or by emailing Groups@shakespeare.org.uk

We are proud to offer a range of educational courses for Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3 & 4 and A level requirements which are hands on, informative and inspiring. Please contact our Education team with any enquiries and booking requests. They can be reached by telephone on 01789 207131 or by emailing them directly at education1@shakespeare.org.uk
