Every year, in April, a unique event takes place in Stratford-upon- Avon to mark the birth of the world’s greatest playwright. The Birthday Celebrations are a tradition going back nearly 200 years and are held on the weekend closest to William Shakespeare’s birthday.

The birthday weekend (bapt. 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) brings together performers, artists, the local community and ambassadors from around the world in a celebration of the life and works of William Shakespeare. During the two day event, the town’s streets overflow with music, pageantry and drama and you are invited to enjoy a packed programme of special activities and great days out at the five Shakespeare houses.

Shakespeare is one of the most charismatic and talented English poets and playwrights of all times, someone who even today reminds us of the richness of the English language.
I like one of his quotes
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves"
We must rely on our thoughts, our actions not on the outside world.
