The Stratford
Shakespeare Festival
Experience
Gone are the days when teachers could
plan a field trip just for the fun of an outing.
We know you’re called upon to link your
trips to in-class work, to meet government
guidelines and to provide not just a day
out but an arts-rich experience.
The Stratford Shakespeare Festival meets
your needs and those of your students,
parents and administration. We’ll help you
from the first day you talk about a play in
class to the day of your visit and beyond.
Discover how Stratford is the complete
learning experience.
