Happy Birthday Shakespeare

Each year,  Stratford-upon-Avon commemorates the birth of William Shakespeare. With the help of the internet and social media, people around the world can gather and share and celebrate Shakespeare's birthday together. We invite you to join in the celebrations with us! Write a blog post, take a photo, craft a tweet, make a video—whatever you'd like—to wish Shakespeare a Happy Birthday. Make sure to tag us  (@ShakespeareBTrust on Instagram, @ ShakespeareBT on Twitter) and use the hashtag #HappyBirthdayShakespeare to connect with us and others who are participating in the festivities.
