William Shakespeare is believed to have been born here #OnThisDay in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon.

By the 1840s, it was split into a pub, a butcher’s and a tenement and had severely decayed.

Using an early drawing from 1769, it was extensively restored by the Birthplace Trust.

#BabyBirdWatch : Fledgling Robins are out and about! 😄

These tiny chirpers emerge from nests about 2 weeks after hatching, though still rely on mum & dad as they learn to fly.

Enjoy watching their adventures - but remember to give them space!

A huge pleasure to be with you today and to introduce so many senior leaders of visitor attractions from across the UK to National Memorial Arboretum

Happy St George's Day!

On #StGeorgesDay , here's our stained glass window depicting this famous saint slaying the dragon.

The window was designed by Hugh Easton and is dedicated to the memory of Westminster citizens killed during the Second World War. It was unveiled by Princess Margaret in 1948.

Charles II chose #StGeorgesDay for his coronation. St Edward's Crown has remained in use ever since and was used to crown King Charles III in 2023.
