Visit: Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall, Church Street, Stratford-upon-Avon CV37 6HB England

Visitors are invited to explore the very building in which young William Shakespeare was educated in the 1570s. Films provide background information about Shakespeare's school days and the historic significance of Stratford-upon-Avon's Guildhall. 

Built in 1420, this building is one of only a few remaining medieval Guildhalls in the country. Knowledgeable and passionate guides will bring the many stories to life about the building's role in Stratford's civic life over the centuries and how the Shakespeare family was involved.

See the Council Chamber, where William Shakespeare's father served as Bailiff (Mayor) and the room where Shakespeare first witnessed performances by some of the country's greatest actors. Participate in a Tudor lesson and brush up on your Latin. With this interactive and engaging visitor experience for all ages, you can dress up in Tudor-style for a 'selfie,' play Tudor games, get messy with quill and ink, and marvel at the medieval wall paintings.

Shakespeare' schoolroom was not on our list of attractions to visit during our day trip to the town, but we passed by and decided to have a quick look; we were so glad we did! The staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable and there was so much to see and discover. We particularly loved the altar painting and hidden figure and the school master talk was very entertaining and informative. We spent more than two hours exploring and would thoroughly recommend a visit - it was the highlight of our day, which also included all the other historic Shakespeare houses and sites. Thanks to the amazing team who brought Shakespeare's early years to life for us.

I really enjoyed this small museum in the heart of Stratford Upon Avon. It’s been incredibly well preserved from its original building 600 years ago. We entered under the impression that we roam the building as we please but we managed to join a tour instead. The tour was very informative, the tour guide was fantastic and the costume interpreter was also. They were all clearly very passionate about their jobs and the history around the building.

This attraction is split into two. Firstly, you get to watch two short videos downstairs about the guild Hall, and you have the opportunity to ask the guides any questions, there is also quite a lot of narrative downstairs to read as well. Secondly, is the school room upstairs. This is definitely the best bit as you get to meet with the school master and also get to try your hand writing with a quill. It is very entertaining. The only issue that we had was with the reception staff on the desk., I really struggled to get an essential carer ticket or any concession due to my disability and was made to feel quite bad about it to be honest. Eventually they agreed to give my daughter a free ticket as she is a registered Young Carers, but I felt as if it had been a real ordeal to get it, and I felt quite uncomfortable.

The building is interesting but small so it could have been a very short visit. However, there are a few short but enjoyable presentations. The school master was particularly good.
