For a very fair price , the backstage tours are well worth it for anyone with an interest in theatre . Very extensive and last just over an hour. Worth booking beforehand. Members discount available.

It is much different than the original building however still a remarkable sight of the town along the river Avon. Check the website for plays and exhibitions .

Amanda Fleming

Bridgefoot car park is only £2 for the whole evening if you park after 4pm. Always loads of spaces and only a short walk to theatre . You do need change to pay.

Carl Griffin

Great views of the town from the top of the tower. Excellent place to watch a performance of one of Shakespeare's plays.

This is a very nice theatre to see a Shakespeare play. Only tip: They might make you wait for a play lull to go back in if you leave the theatre room, so plan accordingly.

Great theatre and good theatre shop, although the foyer spaces are cramped and clogged after the architects completely failed to understand how people might need to move around the building.

Jeremy North

Majestic G & T in the bar . Pre-order for the interval and experience a return to civilisation:-)

Even reduced priced seats with RV are great.

Attend a Shakespeare festival and bring the bard to life. Spend a midsummer night's eve in the company of star-crossed lovers and feuding families.

Chakravarthi's 13 should not be missed if only to muse on how he 'did' Lady Macbeth

Disappointing shop in comparison to London globe. :-(

Vale mucho la pena, hay asientos que cuestan menos ya que en ellos no se ve tan bien pero igual lo vale :)
