The Falstaff Experience, Stratford upon Avon

Tudor World at the Falstaff Experience is an award-winning attraction which brings the 16th century to life! With interesting facts and realistic recreations, this is an atmospheric and fascinating experience set in a genuine Tudor building, complete with half-timbered wattle-and-daub frontage; a cobblestone carriageway dating back to Shakespeare's time and an illustrious history.

Author Terry Deary of the Horrible Histories fame, was so impressed he dedicated his book Stratford upon Avon to the building.

Bequeathed by King Henry VIII to William Shrieve, an archer, the building has borne witness to plague, religious persecution, treason, intrigue, war, fire, and of course, Shakespeare.

"In Stratford upon Avon is it clearly desirable for any house of the right age to be able to claim that Shakespeare crossed its threshold, for the Shrieve's House [Tudor World], this claim can be made with some validity". The Shrieve's House, Stratford upon Avon Society, Peta Ree

The bard regularly frequented the building to visit his friends, William and Elizabeth Rogers, who ran the The Three Tunns Tavern from the site. Elizabeth's nephew, William Walker, was Shakespeare's Godson. Shakespeare is reputed to have based his famous character Falstaff on William the tavern keeper.

As you walk down the oldest surviving cobblestones in Stratford dating back to 1595 on which Shakespeare himself has strolled, your journey back in time has already begun into the Tudor World!

Or why not come back after dark to try one of the nightly lantern-lit ghost tours or a ghost hunt at the weekends in what has been cited as the most haunted building England.
