The Clore Learning Centre - Education and events venue
The Clore Learning Centre (formerly Waterside Space) is the home of our schools and public events programme. It offers an ideal base for schools visits, and is across the road from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. With three workshop spaces and a lunch area, we are able to accommodate school groups of up to 80 at any one time.

Stratford-upon-Avon
Beyond visiting the RSC, our home town of Stratford-upon-Avon is full of activities ideal for school groups: bus and walking tours, boating on the River Avon or visiting any of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust houses to get a historical perspective of life in Shakespeare's time.
