Why Support Us Donate

The traditional Birthday Celebrations return to Stratford-upon-Avon in April, extending a hand of cultural friendship to many national and international visitors who come to join in the festivities.

During the Covid-19 pandemic when the arranging of a physical parade was not possible, we released a virtual celebration which was broadcast via YouTube. This can be accessed via the link www.shakespeares-birthday.uk.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday 20 April 2024 for this year’s celebrations.
