Sustainable Shakespeare Community Day

Visitors are invited to explore sustainability in action as Shakespeare’s New Place plays host to the launch of Stratford-upon-Avon’s Great Big Green Week 2024.

This is a chance to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Great Garden at Shakespeare’s New Place and discover and celebrate the action being undertaken by local and regional groups and organisations in the area to tackle climate change and protect the natural environment, including the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s Sustainable Shakespeare‘ initiative.

Visitors of all ages are in for a treat with a lineup of engaging activities brought to them by partner organisations, including Stratford Climate Action, Stratford Wildlife Friends, Act on Energy and Net Zero Stratford.

The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s retail team will be showcasing a range of beautiful sustainable products crafted from local resources and its gardens team will also be on hand to share what they are doing to improve sustainability and biodiversity across all of Shakespeare’s family homes, and to offer helpful tips and advice.

Whilst soaking in the atmosphere, attendees can enjoy live acoustic music from a local band and get pictures with tree stilt walkers who will be making a special appearance during the day.
