This place is wonderful. The garden has been lovingly created and is beautifully tended. All in memory of William Shakespeare and to the delight of his admirers. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is one of the very best organisations of its kind in the UK. They are a credit to Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwickshire, taking their role as custodians of Shakespearean heritage seriously and looking after their sites well beyond the usual. All hail to the many volunteers and others working for hhem.

We visited Shakespeare New Place in Autumn, but to get the most from the attraction I’d advise to you visit in the spring or summer to make the most of the garden. New place no longer stands, instead it is laid to courtyard and formal gardens, best appreciated in fine weather. However, you can visit Thomas Nash’s Tudor house adjoining, that was occupied by Shakespeare daughter. The guides are very well versed in Shakespearean history, and they make the visit. For best value buy your ticket as part of the Shakespeare Story for £25

We absolutely love visiting New Place whenever we are in Stratford-upon-Avon. Highly recommend buying a full story ticket which allows you to visit the other sites and also means you can return for a year, which is excellent value if you plan to come back within the year. The gardens are so beautiful and the inside of the house is really interesting with some fascinating exhibits The staff are always extremely welcoming, friendly and informative. Last time we visited, we listened to a brilliant presentation from Elliot, which was funny, interesting and engaging. Highly recommend visiting New Place and looking forward to it re-opening in the spring!

After visiting Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaways cottage this was the third part of the experience. So much time and thought has gone into this and the love for the place from the volunteers shines. This did feel like the final piece of the whole journey and ended the day perfectly.

We bought the combined ticket at the Birthplace in Stratford. New Place is a large garden on the site of Shakespeare's final residence. I liked it the best of the attractions on the combined ticket. It was relatively empty though very close to the famous Birthplace. The spring flowers were in bloom. There were benches and statues dotted around the large garden. It felt restful.

Having bought the combined ticket last summer, we returned to visit the other attractions, Anne Hathways cottage and New Place. The New Place guides were amazingly informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. Elliot especially gave THE best talk and had the crowd in fits of laughter going back in history with his facts! Beautiful setting, very relaxed atmosphere and although the actual building is no longer there, we were given an incredible insight into what was..... Definitely worth a visit.

This site is the last home William Shakespeare spent his life in. When I arrived, I joined the presentation in progress about the history of the house. Fascinating place with lots of scandal and intrigue before and since it’s most famous owner resided there. After the talk I toured the gardens, which were a good size and very well maintained. I especially enjoyed the sculptures around it. Last, I went into the indoor exhibit, which is pretty small, and featured some archeological remnants. Most of what there is to see is outside, so I don’t recommend it for a rainy day.

We bought the Shakespeare Story Ticket so we decided to explore New Place. Everyone was very kind and knowledgeable! We had an humourous and detailed talk on the history of New Place and wider society during the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries from Harry. He seemed to come across as very passionate and clearly knows his facts. We were showed a leather cup with lead on the inside! Harry explained about Anne Hathaway being a brewer which was very interesting! The Minds Eye was glorious and the two gardens were very delightful in the weather. The exhibitions show more of the excavations at New Place and the Hidden Voices exhibit, showing the women in shakespeares life.

We arrived early and were lucky to have a free talk with Rowan L. She was so interesting. She first talked us through the history of the house and gardens, which then after our questions, lead on to the role of women, slavery and medicine. We were lucky to have someone so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about history helping us. Beautiful gardens again and the house next door to Shakespeare’s is well preserved.

A very enjoyable visit. There are lines on the ground marking out the areas of the original house and a range of Shakespeare- inspired art installations, plus attractive gardens and some indoor exhibitions. The talk at the start was especially good. We normally prefer fully self-led visits, but this 10 minute overview with picture boards was great for setting the scene and the speaker was brilliant - fantastic knowledge, very engaging and eloquent. The sunny weather definitely added to the experience! I'm not sure it would be as good on a cold, rainy day. The indoor exhibitions were decent, but the best bit for us was definitely outside. A great follow up to visiting Shakespeare's birthplace.
