River Avon - Reflections of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre
If you live in the area or are visiting why not take some time out and explore the historical buildings and architecture in the town, jump on & off one of the tour buses that call in at all the Shakespeare houses in the area, or just walk along the river and relax.
In the evening perhaps book a pre-performance supper and then enjoy a play at the RST, take a candlelit dinner or ghost cruise along the Avon or see a band at one of the town's music venues.
