White Swan Hotel

About the venue

This quintessential English Hotel is situated in the very heart of Shakespeare's birthplace, the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon.

Although the facilities and standard of comfort at The White Swan Hotel have kept pace with the passage of the time, much of the original charm and atmosphere remain as a legacy of its long and interesting history. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Oak Room Restaurant, a unique wood panelled room adjoining the cosy bar. Low beams, a large open fire, antique furniture and its own captivating mural create an environment harking back to a bygone age. The White Swan Hotel is over five hundred years old and is undoubtedly the oldest building in Stratford, which is today used as an inn. Before becoming an inn the hotel was a bakery where, legend has it, Shakespeare himself bought his daily loaf of bread! With its striking half-timbered Tudor frontage and within easy reach of motorway networks, Birmingham International Airport and Stratford train station, The White Swan Hotel is a perfect venue for business or pleasure. The White Swan offers two rooms for an array of different events from exhibitions, private functions and training sessions to a simple boardroom meeting. The Heritage Room provides a great meeting place for businesses near and far for up to 25 delegates, complete with stationery and equipment if required. The Shakespeare is a beautiful, light and airy room which can accommodate up to 80 guests and is a great setting to celebrate a special occasion or wedding with family and friends.
