Stratford-upon-Avon is a market town and civil parish in south Warwickshire, England. It lies on the River Avon some 38 kilometres (24 miles)south of Birmingham and 14 km (9 miles)south-west of the county town, Warwick, in the District of Stratford-on-Avon (which uses the term "on" to ensure people realise that it is a much wider area than just the town of Stratford-upon-Avon). In 2001, the town's population was 23,676.The town is located on the river Avon (which actually means river), on the banks of which stands the Royal Shakespeare Theatre designed by the English architect,Elisabeth Scott , and completed in 1932 which is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Until recently the RSC also ran two smaller theatres, the Swan, which is modelled on an Elizabethan theatre which closed in August 2007 as part of the refurbishment plans and The Other Place theatre, a black box theatre, which closed in 2005 to make room for the temporary RSC Courtyard Theatre, which opened in July 2006. This theatre is now the home of the RSC while the RST is being refurbished; the interior of which is similar to the planned interior of the refurbished RST. The site of The Other Place has now become the foyer, bars, cloakroom, dressing rooms, and rehearsal space of the Courtyard Theatre. The Other Place will be reinstated after the RST and Swan refurbishment is complete and the Courtyard Theatre is dismantled; although many in the town would like to hang on to the Courtyard so that it can used by local theatre companies.
Other tourist attractions within the town include Shakespeare's Birthplace, one of five houses relating to Shakespeare's life, which are owned and cared for by The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. These include Hall's Croft (the one-time home of Shakespeare's daughter, Susannah, and her husband Dr John Hall) and Nash's House,which stands alongside the site of another property, New Place, owned by Shakespeare himself, and the house in which he died. Near to the town are Anne Hathaway's Cottage at Shottery, the home of Shakespeare's wife's family prior to her marriage and Mary Arden's House, the family home of his mother. Elsewhere in the district are farms and buildings at Snitterfield, that belonged to the family of Shakespeare's father.
Within the town is also Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare was baptised and is buried.
Best Visitor Attraction in the 2006 Godiva Awards is the Stratford Town Walk. The guided walk operates 365 days a year and passes the Shakespeare Town Houses, Theatres, Grammar School and Church. The guide provides entertaining and interesting information about fires, flooding, the plague, mediaeval cures and old fashioned sayings. There is no need to book, just turn up by the Swan Fountain in Waterside, opposite Sheep Street. Mon, Tue & Wed at 11 a.m. Thu, Fri, Sat & Sun at 2 p.m. Christmas Day at 10.30 a.m. Adults 5 children 2, students & over 65's 4. Also entertaining evening Ghost Walk and Ghost Cruises on the River Avon.
Non-Shakespearean attractions include the Stratford Butterfly Farm,which is on the eastern side of the river, the Bancroft Gardens, and the Black Swan pub, or Dirty Duck, depending from which side you approach the pub, which has been frequented by actors - 'fresh from the stage' - for over 100 years. The walls of the pub are covered in signed photographs of actors such as Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, and Laurence Olivier.
Six kilometres away is Charlecote Park, a historic Elizabethan house set in a deer park, from where Shakespeare reputedly poached deer.
Eight miles (13 km) away is Ragley Hall, one of England's finest stately homes and home to the Jerwood Sculpture Park; and just a handful of miles from that Coughton Court.
The town had a publicly-funded art gallery, The Gallery, but this was closed in 2004, although there are numerous small private galleries in the centre.
