"Shakespeare must be so proud to share a birthday with my aunt!"

Celebrating the Bard's big birthday at Shakespeare's Birthplace

Katie Neville

If you share a birthday with William Shakespeare there’s only one place to be on April 23rd and that’s here in the house where he was born on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon. “Shakespeare must be so proud to share a birthday with my aunt!” said Campbell McKegg from New Zealand when he and his family visited Shakespeare’s Birthplace on the Bard’s birthday.  Michelle Hoey was the aunt in question and it was great to meet her, Campbell, Jo, and Ben in the garden of the Birthplace on such a special day.
