Stratford-upon-Avon Minigolf

Reviewed By MrsG515 - Warwickshire, United Kingdom

Had our first visit of the year today and it was just as good as ever. This is a perfect place for all ages to have fun together in the heart of Stratford in the fresh air, with parking, lovely views all around of the river Avon, the Holy Trinity Church and the theatre. It’s incredibly good value for money and an inexpensive hot or cold drink can be bought there too. The host is super friendly and welcoming , and I noticed that all the used equipment is not returned for use until it has been thoroughly disinfected. So good to meet up with some friends today to have fun with an activity that was easy to socially distance. ????????

We really enjoyed the Shakespeare's Script escape room with Steph. Great room and fun for all of us (2 adults and 11 yr old). Just the right level of difficulty (12 seconds to spare!!!) Steph is an excellent host and I would recommend this as a great activity.

Having realised with increasing frustrating recently that all the films I wished to see were not on offer at mainstream cinemas locally, I revisited Stratford Picturehouse for the first time in several years to view White Crow. I joined the Silver Screen club to qualify for £5 ticket (contrasting significantly with best prices offered elsewhere) and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience: film (enthralling for all Nureyev fans); seating (extremely comfortable with plenty of leg room); sound and temperature in auditorium (perfect, neither blaringly loud or too hot / cold). Only downside to visit, I learnt from fellow cinema goer that Picturehouse was to close in 18 months due to end of lease (building purchased for yet another hotel development). A tragedy. Affordable cinema is an essential and much appreciated entertainment, in my view.

To ‘normal’ cinema. The Everyman is a great experience. Staff sensational, food memorable, great wine and cocktails on comfy sofas. Love it.

Stratford-upon-Avon Racecourse

Reviewed By lorrainem1957 - Bidford-on-Avon, United Kingdom

Great day at the races weather was sooner and the punters were out. We went into the Gallery restaurant and enjoyed a three course meal, you keep your seat throughout the race and can see the whole of the racecourse from the gallery restaurant. Thea maitre d was excellent and knew her stuff, some of the staff needed some more trainIng, and don’t appreciate being told they are new. Would definitely recommend a visit to this restaurant if you are visiting the race course.

Went here with friends for swimming. Good swimming pool and facilities. Lockers were not working and required old one pound coin. Good experience.

Your ticket includes what no other does! Which is a cooked breakfast to start the day, before exploring Stratford-upon-Avon for 4 hours however you wish to, with ticket access to ALL of the following: Shakespear's Birthplace, Shakespeares New Place, Hall's Croft, Anne Heathaway's Cottage, Mary Arden's Farm. Finally ending the day with a fun art painting workshop! No art painting experience necessary. :) This is a great way of being able to enjoy interacting with other couples also!
