Welcome to The Shakespeare
Birthday Celebrations,
a unique event that has
been taking place in Stratford
for nearly two centuries
The tradition brings together the local community, professional and amateur performers and artists and ambassadors from around the world in a vibrant celebration of the life and works of Stratford’s favourite son.
The town’s streets will overflow with pageantry, music and drama and over the three day birthday period you can enjoy a packed programme of special celebratory activities - great days out at Shakespeare’s historic houses, literary and music events and amazing theatre.
So, whether you’re a fan of Shakespeare’s works or not, there promises to be something for everybody … and a few surprises along the way!
