Shakespeare's New Place

Demolished in 1759, discover the story of Shakespeare’s family home and his life and times as a businessman and family man in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Explore the beautiful gardens and stunning artworks and sculptures on the site where New Place once stood, all of which are inspired by Shakespeare’s works. Then come inside and uncover artefacts and details of the man behind the plays in the exhibition next door.
