Other Cultural Visits

  • Carpe Diem Workshops
    These workshops are run by Stratford YHA so the benefit is that you can have your workshop where you are staying. Professionals run the workshops based around key Shakespeare themes and can focus on a particular play you’re studying. This is a great introduction to Shakespeare.
  • The MAD Museum
    Based in the centre of Stratford upon Avon, the museum (MAD stands for Mechanical Art and Design) displays interactive pieces of mechanical art, in particular; kinetic art and automata - think of the machines and gizmos used in Wallace and Gromit, Scrapheap Challenge and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Nearly everything is interactive which means kids can really get stuck in. They’re encouraged to press buttons and release their inner inventor.
