Book your Shakespeare's New Place tickets for one of the best things to do in Stratford-upon-Avon
Be inspired at the site that was William Shakespeare's family home for 19 years. The home itself no longer stands but what the Trust have done with the site is simply stunning.
Shakespeare’s family home, New Place, was demolished over 250 years ago. And yet, the way the site has been restored so beautifully means there are connections and echoes of Shakespeare's home everywhere you turn. From breath-taking contemporary sculptures, gorgeous gardens and an exhibition that brings us that little bit closer to Shakespeare and his most-famous works.
Uncover the fascinating story of the house that isn't there at the Exhibition Centre and discover beautiful gardens and artworks that help us feel connected to The Bard and his life.
