    If you go to Stratford upon Avon and something is on at the Attic Theatre. Please go. The company Tread the Boards has always delivered brilliant shows whether serious Dracula or hysterically funny The Three Musketeers. Even their Panto was stupidly funnily traditionally done!

    Amazing performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream! My two children ages 11 and 12 loved it. Really clear, easy to understand, totally engaging and hilarious. It will be a hard act to follow!

    The Mad museum is located at the start of Henley Street on the right…we walked past the first time. Great concept and super for kids. Prices and opening hours in the attached photos.

    Really lovely way to spend an hour with the family.

    We went in half term so it was busy and quite slow walking through the butterfly house. Difficult trying to avoid the buggies everywhere however it didn’t ruin our visit. The butterflies are everywhere and there are benches to sit and hope for a butterfly to visit you!

    My children (4&7) loves the mini beast area and watching the leaf cutter ants working hard above your head!

    We used our Tesco vouchers which made the visit good value.

    Car parking is a pay and display just outside the entrance.

    Very interesting visit, the guides in each room were the most enthusiastic I've come across and really wanted to share with you what they knew which really made the experience.

    Shakespeare schoolroom is slightly off location wise on the TA map. However, you can’t miss it as it’s a large building and well signposted. Very historic.

    Such a beautiful house and gardens. We took our dog and she loved walking round the sculpture park and gardens, and me and the husband took turns viewing the house. Staff were all so nice and made the effort to chat and tell us interesting things about the place. We had tea and biscuits at the shed and was very good and decent price. Please note there is a charge on the car park

    My wife and I went on the ghost tour at the museum in the evening. Our ghostly guide for the evening was Winifred. She was knowledgeable, eccentric and lots fun.
    Highly recommend doing the evening tour with the lamp light, it makes it extra spooky/eerie.
    We would like to give a big thank you to Winifred, she was a great listener, as well as a fantastically spooky and funny tour guide. She took the time to chat with my wife Mandy and I after the tour, she was very kind and thoughtful and we learned a lot.

    The Holy Trinity Church is located on the banks of the river Avon. Its absolute peace and quiet and a stunningly beautiful sight.

    An amazing place to visit, there's plenty to do. The area is clean and well maintained. Me and my husband enjoyed a walk along the canal as well as relaxing watching the swans on a bench. There are plenty of shops. A great day out.

    The Swan Theatre is at the nicer end of the Shakespeare Theatre. Older and more interesting than the newer version. Worth a visit.

    So pleased to see Mary Arden’s open again! It was quieter than I recall but the staff were still super friendly and engaging (particularly with children). Additional to the animals there was archery, story telling , Willow making and a relaxed tour of the house.

    Lovely place
