The rooms of the house
Walk through rooms once lived in by the Shakespeare family, with objects from the Trust’s collections. The Glover’s Workshop recalls John Shakespeare’s trade, and staff guides are on hand in the key rooms.
The exhibition and the garden
Becoming Shakespeare, the exhibition in the visitor reception, explores how a place shaped Shakespeare’s imagination. Behind the house, the garden is planted with flowers and trees, and live performances take place there.
Shakespeare’s New Place
Your ticket includes the gardens of New Place on Chapel Street, where Shakespeare bought a house in 1597 and died in 1616. The house was demolished in 1759; today its site is a garden, including a knot garden.
