Costume Store

Crowns logo

Home to over 30,000 costumes designed and made exclusively for our productions, our Costume Store is located on the outskirts of Stratford-upon-Avon.

As well as an extensive Elizabethan and Jacobean collection, we house a range of weird and wonderful costumes, testament to the diverse range of productions staged by the company over the years. And it is not just clothing – shoes, boots, crowns, capes and masks are just some of the accessories which can be found.
