Sustainable Shakespeare Community Day

Explore sustainability in action at Shakespeare’s New Place

You’re 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 2025.

This is your chance to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Great Garden and celebrate the action being undertaken by local and regional groups to tackle climate change and protect our natural environment.

Our gardens team will 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. Don’t forget to visit our shop to see our range of beautiful sustainable products crafted from local resources. You'll also have the opportunity to discover the work of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s Sustainable Shakespeare' initiative.

That’s not all - whilst soaking in the atmosphere, you can enjoy live acoustic music from a local band.

Puppet Making Workshop supported by THE HERDS
Finally come and get hands on making an animal puppet from recycled materials inspired by The HERDS public art and climate action initiative.

Access to Shakespeare's New Place will be free of charge to all visitors throughout the day.

With thanks to THE HERDS for supporting this event
