23-29 March 2026
We are celebrating Shakespeare Week and more, and we invite you to join us!
Shakespeare Week, created by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, runs from 23 - 29 March 2026. Its goal is to give primary school aged children the chance to enjoy The Bard’s work from an early age. We’ll be extending our celebration into the term break to provide even more positive experiences with Shakespeare’s work, and we haven't forgotten the adults, either!
