Would you like to tour Stratford with a professional Shakespearean? Come with me on a tour of the town which will open your eyes, both to the Stratford that Shakespeare would have experienced as a boy, and the exciting theatre town it is today. The tour will start at the Jester statue at the top of Henley Street, right beside Shakespeare's Birthplace. We will begin with a conversation about what you know so far about Stratford's famous son. Then we will wander down the pedestrian street while I point out key features of the Birthplace and give you a chance to take a picture beside the latest statue of the great man. Next we will walk to New Place, Shakespeare's school and Hall's Croft, all sites that are currently closed to visitors but which can be viewed from outside while I discuss their importance. Once we reach Holy Trinity Church, the site of Shakespeare's grave, we will have covered all seven ages of this man. Walking back along the Avon we will switch to discussing the history of the Royal Shakespeare Company, passing The Other Place, the Swan Theatre and the Royal Festival Theatre. I will given you an insight into the rich performance history of the town and a few hints about where actors can usually be sighted. Note: the paths we take are all very accessible but we will be on our feet for the full hour and a half.

On the horse experience you will gain knowledge about each of our horses and their story. We will explain about field and stable management, their routines, herd behaviour, and then you will get to meet the horse you will be grooming. You will be shown how to bring the horse in from the field and be able to guide it down to the stables (approx 30min) We will show you how to groom the horse to a good standard, tac up a horse ready for riding (time permitting) and what commands are used for getting the horse to stand, walk and trot (weather permitting). This is called lunging (approx 20 min). You will finish the session by feeding the horses and getting a photo with them. We ask that you join us with a sense of open-mindedness. When working with animals, the schedule revolves around them. Bring your sense of adventure and an appreciation for spontaneity as, really, anything can happen!
