Conservation Talks

This winter, our conservation team is carrying out work at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, the Grade I listed farmhouse where Shakespeare’s wife grew up.

Join one of our volunteers for a 30-minute talk exploring the work taking place, the specialist techniques our in-house experts are using, and why caring for a building of this age matters.

Talk details

Talks take place daily at 11am starting on 1 November, subject to volunteer availability. There’s no need to book; just ask at reception when you arrive to check the day’s talk is going ahead.

The talk is included in your admission to Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, so you’ll need a valid ticket. CV37 residents go free with proof of address.

Please note the talk takes place outside in all weathers.
