It’s currently temporarily closed according to the internet, I think this is due to Corvid-19 When thinks have calmed down a little have a look online they have soooo much information on Shakespeares birthplace; opening times, ticket prices, what’s happening, ect ect! They seem to be open regularly but are very busy in peak season. I hope this helps!
If we see Shakespeare's house on foot, what other houses are within walking distance? Is there a tour ticket we can purchase in advance? We don't have access to a printer but can book online.
A:
Thank you so much. We will buy the 5 houses online ticket which seems like a good buy even for 2 or 3 places.
