No tickets? No problem - there's more to see.

The sun is (occasionally) shining, and Stratford-upon-Avon is officially ready for peak season. Whether you’ve already secured a seat at a sold-out show or you’re looking for an excuse to get out of the city, there is more to the RSC than just what happens when the curtain rises.

Come for the drama, stay for the atmosphere. See you by the river.

Come and see us for a quintessentially British day-out in the heart of England, whether you're looking for sophisticated sipping, the best riverside dining spot in town, family-friendly activities and exhibitions, or shopping for treasured Shakespearean souvenirs. 

Make the most of the long days with us with:

• Rooftop Cocktails: Take in the best views of the town with a drink in hand.

• Riverside Dining: Settle in for a long, lazy lunch by the water.

• Insider Access: Go behind the scenes to see the workshops and secrets that power our productions.

From our green spaces, to hidden corners of the theatre, to the best terrace in Warwickshire, come and see how we spend our summer.
