As one of our Friends, you can enjoy special exclusive events such as In Conversations with RSC actors.

The RSC Friends enjoy a lively programme of events, including In Conversations with actors from the current RSC companies and day trips. Guests at past talks include Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Antony Sher. RSC Friends' events take place in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Upcoming events

  • COFFEE MORNING

    Riverside Cafe, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
    Wednesday 14 January, 2.30–4pm  

    After all the excitement of Christmas and the New Year, join us for a relaxing afternoon of coffee and chatter to start 2026. No need to book – just turn up anytime between 2.30pm and 4pm, get yourself a drink and join us – we’ll probably be the biggest (and noisiest?!) group in the cafe.

You need to be an RSC Friend to book for these events. Tickets for Friends' events are usually £6 for Friends, £7 for guests and £3 for under 25s (unless otherwise stated). We recommend RSC Friends' events are suitable for children aged 12 and above.
