Shakespeare's Birthplace and Shakespeare's Schoolroom ticket

First-time visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon can explore William Shakespeare’s birthplace and school with a single joint ticket, thanks to a partnership between the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and Shakespeare’s Schoolroom Trust. This initiative connects the captivating story of Shakespeare’s early years.

Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Shakespeare’s Schoolroom & Guildhall are just a short walk apart, a path young William himself would have frequently traveled.

You can purchase a ticket for both Shakespeare’s Schoolroom & Guildhall and Shakespeare's Birthplace through this website or the Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust website. One venue requires pre-booking, but the other does not. Alternatively, tickets are available at either location without advance booking.

The MAD Museum and Shakespeare's Schoolroom ticket

You can buy a ticket for Shakespeare’s Schoolroom & Guildhall and the MAD Museum at either of the venues, without needing to book in advance, on the door.

The MAD Museum is a quirky attraction displaying interactive pieces of mechanical art, in particular: kinetic art & automata. It is where clever design meets outrageous inventions. Visitors are encouraged to interact with weird and wonderful mechanical contraptions made by artists from all around the world. As well as a lot of fun, The MAD Museum demonstrates inspirational creativity and clever, often witty design. It supports the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and Art and Design. Overall, The MAD Museum is a fantastic playground for adults and a perfect treasure-trove for inquisitive kids.

Situated a 6-minute walk from Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall.
