What to do in Stratford in WinterStratford upon Avon might not be the first place you think of to visit on a cold winter's day. For lots of people the town is forever associated with warm summer days and picnics by the river, but actually there's loads to do whatever the weather.
You could take a trip with Canal and River Tours in their heated, covered boat whilst listening to the free audio commentary. If you're lucky you might even see the ghost of the lock. The Mad museum is another great place to go for kids of all ages with its cunning contraptions. If you really want to get out of the cold then there's no finer place than the Butterfly Farm, with it's tropical temperatures and lush flora you'll leave winter behind for a while. Perhaps not surprisingly, the town also has more than its fair share of theatres. If that's a little too highbrow then it also has a fantastic cinema, the Picture House, tucked away on Windsor Street. With a range of delightful places to grab some lunch or just a hot bowl of soup there really no excuse from staying away from Stratford in the Winter.

AuthorI've lived in or around Stratford upon Avon for a large portion of my adult life. I've seen the town go through many changes, not always for the best but it's a beautiful vibrant place to live most of the time. Archives
