School Visit to Stratford Upon Avon

A Dramatic Break From Lessons.

By mixing live performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company with visits to the Shakespeare properties and drama or poetry workshops a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon can provide a unique stimulus for your English or Drama class.

  • Three plays

  • A two-theatre tour
  • Two nights accommodation (B&B) at the YHA
  • A drama workshop
  • A River Cruise on the Avon.
  • Tour of Shakespeare's Birthplace

Day One
The group arrives early to an introduction of the events taking place during their stay: the plays, the visits, the drama workshop and the creative writing task.

After lunch a matinee performance is the first of the three plays followed by tea and then on to the evening performance: a busy start to their stay enables them to fit as much into their time in Stratford as possible.

Day Two
The morning of the second day is taken up by a Drama Workshop run by the teachers (although for a little extra a workshop can be organised using a local group of actors).

After a leisurely lunch at Café Rouge the group enjoys a tour of Shakespeare's Birthplace. Followed by a tour of the two theatres: the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the Swan Theatre before supper, followed by the last performance of the visit (matinees and a changing repertoire allow visitors the chance to see up to four plays in two days!).

Day Three
The last morning takes place around the River Avon. A boat cruise gives the students one last look at Stratford from a slightly different angle and lastly, whilst relaxing in the gardens by the river, the students read the poems that they have been working on for their creative writing task.
