During your stay with us at the DoubleTree by Hilton Stratford-upon-Avon Hotel why not take a look round the town itself? It’s full of interesting things to discover. Here are a few of the most exciting things to do in Stratford-upon-Avon.

12 minute walk

Find entertainment somewhere new.

A stone’s throw from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre is The Swan Theatre, which also stages Shakespeare, alongside a repertoire of plays by other writers, both old and new. Originally opened in its present form in 1986, and refurbished in April 2023, now’s your chance to be among the first to explore its history and the thrill of dramatic art.

11 minute walk

Step off the main streets of Stratford-upon-Avon and into the historic Guild Chapel, a 13th-century treasure known for its extraordinary medieval wall paintings, which were hidden for centuries beneath layers of whitewash. With deep ties to Shakespeare’s family and the town’s Guild heritage, it’s one of Stratford’s most atmospheric and meaningful landmarks.

15 minute walk

Set on the banks of the River Avon, Holy Trinity Church is one of England’s most visited parish churches — and the final resting place of William Shakespeare. Visitors can admire its striking stained glass, beautiful 15th-century architecture, and peaceful riverside churchyard. It’s a must-see for anyone seeking to connect with Stratford’s literary heritage.
