celebrate shakespeare's birthday with us.
No one really knows the exact date of William Shakespeare’s birth, although he was baptised on 26th April, 1564, and died on 23 April, 1616. Some believe he was born on 23rd April, although birth dates were generally not recorded in his time. In his younger years Shakespeare attended the Christian Holy Trinity church, the now famous limestone cross-shaped cathedral on the banks of the River Avon Warwickshire, England.
At the age of 18 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children. Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of the playing company the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. It is believed that he retired in Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
However we DO have some facts about Shakespeare's time in London, so join us and follow in the footsteps of the Bard for this special Literary Pub and Tavern Tour.
