Inside the Holy Trinity Parish, in the quaint English town of Stratford-upon-Avon, lies a very important book. Probably one of England’s most visited churches; the parish contains the register recording Shakespeare’s baptism, the only written record indicating his birth.

The entry, in Latin, reads: “Guiliamus filius Johannes Shakspere” with the date 26 April 1564.

It takes a lot of time and people power to get the Bard Village and our two tents up and ready for you, and the work has begun!
