We understand that any visitor to a destination needs to have access to the right information to ensure their stay is memorable for all the right reasons; for visitors with accessibility needs or medical conditions, this information can be critical.

Shakespeare’s England and its partners are committed to providing all visitors with a fantastic experience. Our aim is to provide relevant information to assist you with planning your visit to the Warwickshire region. Should you need further assistance, please contact us to discuss your access requirements.
