Shakespeare for Everyone!
Past, Present and Future.
The Stratford-upon-Avon Shakespeare Club, founded in 1824, is the oldest Shakespeare society in the world. Originally founded by local people, it still aims to provide enjoyment to anyone with an interest in Shakespeare’s work, life and times, independent of other Shakespeare organisations.
Speakers at its monthly talks are specialists in their subjects, coming from a wide range of backgrounds including universities, theatres, and the media.
The Club takes part in the town’s Shakespeare Birthday Celebrations each April, and other events include occasional exhibitions, readings and luncheons.
New members and guests are always welcome.

The Hall’s Croft 10,000 Project
The Shakespeare Club has just launched the Hall’s Croft 10,000 project which aims to raise funds in order to assist the SBT’s “House for All Time Campaign”. This will be a three-year project, during which a number of fundraising initiatives will be developed. Planning is at an early stage at the moment but there will be opportunities for local people, schools and organisations to get involved. As well as raising funds, it is hoped that the project will develop community relations and result in a higher profile for the Club and other collaborating groups. More will follow, but for now the blog post on the project contains more information. Anyone wishing to find out more, or to volunteer to help, should contact the Club by email.
