If you have limited time in Stratford Upon Avon, and only have time for one tourist attraction, then pick this one ! Initially hesitant to spend £12.50 per adult to pop in a school room but was I wrong !!! This is a well thought out and co-ordinated tour and event, with the opportunity to see rare medieval paintings! So rare they are hidden behind a screen The tour is broken into 5 parts Part 1 : information show on the guild hall building Part 2: viewing of rare wall paintings Part 3 : staged classroom experience as young Elizabethan boys Part 4 : Learning to write with a quill Part 5 : The masters / prefects room There has clearly been a lot of thought, passion and pride with the custodians showing their guild hall history and school room experience ( it is still very much a working school) . This tour is exceptional. Well done we loved it !

Best part of our day in Stratford upon Avon. We saw the birthplace which was very interesting and the bottom of the guildhall was interesting although a bit rigid when it came to the tour guide. The upstairs school section was the absolute highlight! Learned more about Shakespeares England than in the whole day. Highly recommend. Hang in there through the ground floor. Upstairs is worth it !

Kind of a must see. The headmaster is the main event. He was funny and very knowledgeable. The guide on the ground floor was probably an overseas student from China. Her English language skills weren't great. Which was the only negative. Too many 'ums'.

This was the most fun we had in Stratford. The exhibits covered multiple periods of history and included hands-on activities, friendly guides, and interactive experiences (multimedia, conversations with an actor, writing with a quill, chance to dress up for kids, etc.). It truly is a hidden gem. The staff were so friendly and great with both adults and kids. We would definitely recommend it.
