About this experience
Experience one of England’s most historic towns at its finest, with a visit to Shakespeare’s Schoolroom and the Medieval Guildhall, followed by a tranquil sightseeing cruise along the River Avon.
Discover the very room where Shakespeare was taught in the 1570s – you can even brush up on your Latin with a Tudor lesson with Master Thomas Jenkins. Explore one of the few remaining Medieval Guildhalls in the country, where you’ll be led through centuries of history by expert guides. Education complete, the two of you can step aboard a traditional vessel for a relaxing 30 minute cruise, past the famous Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Holy Trinity Church, before turning around and passing under the 15th century Clopton Bridge. Audio tours are available for you to learn more about the sights and sounds of Avon as you go.
