Things To Do in Stratford-upon-Avon

During your stay with us at the DoubleTree by Hilton Stratford-upon-Avon Hotel why not take a look round the town itself? It’s full of interesting things to discover. Here are a few of the most exciting things to do in Stratford-upon-Avon.

THE ROYAL SHAKESPEARE THEATRE

12 minute walk 

Add some drama to your stay.

No visit to Shakespeare’s hometown is complete without seeing a show at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Take one of the guided tours and feel what it’s like to be backstage, learn how fake blood is made, and look out for a few famous ghosts. With a riverside bar and restaurant too, you’ll need to leave plenty of time for this unique Stratford treat.

THE SWAN THEATRE

12 minute walk 

Find entertainment somewhere new.

A stone’s throw from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre is The Swan Theatre, which also stages Shakespeare, alongside a repertoire of plays by other writers, both old and new. Originally opened in its present form in 1986, and refurbished in April 2023, now’s your chance to be among the first to explore its history and the thrill of dramatic art.

THE STRATFORD TOWN GHOST WALK

Discover Stratford’s old haunts.  

With its dramatic past, full of actors and writers, it’s inevitable that Stratford has its fair share of ghost stories. Saturday evening Ghost Walks are hosted by professional actors, who combine their own talent with the many tales of murder, mayhem and hauntings which have grown in number over the centuries.
