Planning a wedding in Stratford-upon-Avon
Shakespeare's birthplace is one of England's best-loved market towns, with timber-framed houses, the River Avon and its swans, and riverside gardens leading down to Holy Trinity Church, where the playwright is buried. The thatched cottage at Shottery, where Anne Hathaway grew up, is a short walk away. For couples who love history and literature, it has a particular romance.
Venues around Stratford
The town has hotels, historic buildings and riverside spaces, and the canal basin at the heart of town adds colourful narrowboats to photographs. The Warwickshire countryside around it is full of country houses, barns, estates and golf clubs, and the north Cotswolds begin just to the south. Warwick, with its castle, Royal Leamington Spa with its Regency terraces, and Kenilworth with its ruined castle are all within easy reach. Evesham and the Vale of Evesham lie to the west, known for orchards and blossom in spring.
Visitors and planning
Stratford attracts visitors from around the world, especially in summer and around Shakespeare's birthday celebrations in April. Hotels fill quickly, and the town centre can be very busy. Ask guests to book early, or look at accommodation in Warwick and Leamington.
- Parking in the centre is limited. Arrange drop-off points for wedding cars and supplier vans.
- Riverside spots can flood after heavy rain. Ask venues about contingency plans.
- Many countryside venues are dry hire, so allow time to source caterers, furniture and bar staff.
Getting there
The M40 passes close by, and trains run to Birmingham and London Marylebone. Birmingham Airport is less than an hour's drive for most routes. Suppliers in Solihull, Knowle, Redditch and Southam regularly work in the area.
In England, civil ceremonies must be held at a register office or approved premises, and you give notice at your local register office. The Warwickshire register office service can confirm current notice periods.
Book your venue first, then photographers and musicians, as summer dates go quickly.
