Shakespeare Season - 6
Shakespeare Season Soak up Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon
Celebrating 451 years of Shakespeare! William Shakespeare - Poet, Playwright (c. 1564 - 1616)
The popular and well loved ‘The Merchant of Venice’ opens the season in the recently refurbished Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. One of Shakespeare comedy plays it is full of intrigue, trade, money lenders with extortionate rates of interest, sound familiar? Disguises, a love interest between Bassanio, and Portia and tricks with rings that leave the males Bassanio and Gratiano at a loss. Whether you loved or loathed Shakespeare at school a visit to the Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre is a very different experience with rich costumes and beautifully crafted scenery, a performance here will provide a very different experience; or if you prefer you can take a tour around the theatre and see what happens backstage. To enhance your encounter with Shakespeare why not visit Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and the beautiful, old Holy Trinity Church in Southern Lane where you’ll find the resting places of both Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway or consider a Shakespeare walking tour or even a spooky Ghost Tour. But of course Stratford-upon-Avon has so much more to offer and some of it very surprising. Set on the banks of the Avon River it is possible to hire any number of different small craft and take pleasure in an hour or two of quiet delight messing about in boats; if you don’t fancy taking to the water by hiring your own craft then why not indulge in a river cruise where you can enjoy the
evening with dinner on board, or if you prefer take a quiet walk along its banks beside the Weeping Willows, around the Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre and take in the views of the river traffic and local wildlife. Fancy some living history? There are two very different attractions that might just tickle your fancy, the first is ‘The Falstaff Experience’, a museum with a difference as it has no artefacts, it is totally interactive, the ‘Experience’ will guide you through what life was actually like for those living the Tudor period, but make sure not to lose your head! Or why not try a trip on a real Steam Train, the ‘Shakespeare Express’. The line runs from Stratford-upon-Avon to Birmingham, and you can enjoy a by-gone era and perhaps the elegance of dining with Sunday lunch, a High Tea or a full English Breakfast available on board, all this while you take in the best of Warwickshire’s surrounding countryside, villages and the cityscape of Birmingham. Hungry? There are many award winning and very different restaurants, pubs and tea shops to visit in the town, so you’ll be spoilt for choice, or how about a visit to nearby Chipping Camden the home of the world famous Pudding Club and indulge in your favourite pudding or two. With amazing shopping and restaurants, pubs and cafe’s to offer Stratford-upon-Avon is certainly a place where you can soak up Shakespeare and do so much more, that one visit to this beautiful town will not enough.

Theatre Breaks
Indulge a little or a lot at with a Theatre Break
Many of us enjoy the spectacle of live theatre whether it’s a drama, musical, opera or comedy show, up and down the country our theatres offer some of the best entertainment around. And best of all it doesn’t mean that we have to travel to London to enjoy them, many of our larger towns and cities have theatres that can rival any of those in London and give us an opportunity to discover real hidden gems and the best that our culture has to offer, and that are just that little bit different. Take Scarborough as an example; Alan Ayckbourn has lived in the town for many years and produced 75 plays there, with most of these receiving their first performance at the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
time professional theatre company outside of London. Bath offers us the Ustinov Studio, amongst others, a venue that hosts the international festival of puppetry; as well as a season by Sir Peter Hall. There is nothing that can rival the unique Minack Theatre in Porthcurno, Cornwall, which is built into the living rock over Porthcurno Bay and truly one of the world’s most spectacular theatres. Rowena Cade was the remarkable woman who bought the headland in the 1920’s and worked, along with her two gardeners, with a single-handed determination, on the construction of the theatre, which consumed her for the rest of her life. The first production, Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ took place in 1932, lit by car headlights and the bright moon that shone that night, the setting was perfect with the sea as the background quite literally, as there is a sheer drop behind it!
Scarborough also boasts an Open Air Theatre which can hold 6,500 people and the Spa Complex which hosts an annual Jazz Festival, as well as some of the most beautiful coastline to be found in Britain. On the hill overlooking the bay’s you’ll find the resting place of Anne Bronte who died tragically at the age of only 29.
With its exotic plants providing splashes of colour to the granite, this theatre is certainly that little bit different; offering storytelling, Cornish comedies, musicals such as Carousel, Shakespeare, drama’s and music from Midge Ure to the Fisherman’s Friend, there is surely something for everyone in this unique and breathtaking venue.
Chester hosts the largest, purpose built, outdoor theatre in its Grosvenor Park with performances taking place ‘in the round’ for 8 weeks each summer, by the only full

“Fifty Shades of Grey My good friend Robert Butler came with me. Great film!” Can you name one thing not many people know about you?
“I’m running the London Marathon in April 2015 for Charity and I really don’t like running!!” If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?

What our customers say about using Infotel for their accommodation bookings...
“I stayed at Ellwyn Hotel booked via Infotel. I found the website extremely easy to use and will definitely use it again.” Graham Deane
“When I booked the Rollason Wood Hotel in Birmingham it was the first time I had ever used Infotel. I found it extremely fast and easy to use. I requested the hotel that I wanted and the team at Infotel booked it and sent through the confirmation. Now I know how easy it is I will continue to use Infotel to book hotels whenever I need them.” E Mullen
“Very happy with the quick efficient service from Infotel, will use again for future bookings.” Mark Mcpyke
“I had previously used Infotel in the past for bookings so I asked them to find myself and a colleague accommodation in the Poole area. They found us a nice hotel and the location was prefect due to our requirements. I will happily use Infotel again and have advised my colleagues to do the same.” Neil Duffield
