Glamping Stratford - Hilltop Hideaways

Seeing the best of Shakespeare Country while glamping near Stratford upon Avon

Escaping to the country and sleeping under the stars – you could call it A Midsummer Night’s Dream..! If you’re looking for the perfect place to get glamping near Stratford-upon-Avon, we’re here to help.

Just a 20-minute drive from Shakespeare’s historic hometown, glamping in Stratford is right on our doorstep, our luxury campsite offering every comfort you need as you soak up Shakespeare Country and kick back and relax at the end of the day.

Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon is one of the most visited places in all of the UK – welcoming visitors from all over the world, and from all over Britain too.

We’re perfectly placed to help you explore, offering luxury Stratford-upon-Avon camping pods and with so much to see and do, we thought a few top tips for our Hilltop glampers wouldn’t go a miss!

Shakespeare Houses

The obvious starting point perhaps, and for good reason. In the care of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust are a wealth of wonderful buildings; see Shakespeare’s Birthplace, soak up the romance of Anne Hathaway’s Cottage (where he wooed his bride to be) or get hands-on at Mary Arden’s Farm, where you can experience the Tudor country life of Shakespeare’s mother. You can jump on the open-top bus to shuttle you between each property – see more here at www.shakespeare.org.uk.

The Royal Shakespeare Company

If you can catch a show, you won’t be disappointed. Having one of the world’s most acclaimed theatre companies right on the doorstep of our camping pods in Stratford-upon-Avon is a real treat. But – even if you don’t have a tickets – it’s still a great place to turn up and explore, with gorgeous cafes, the Rooftop restaurant, a trip up the theatre tower, regular theatre tours and plenty of free fun and games and special activities throughout the year, see what’s on during your stay at: www.rsc.org.uk

Messing about on the river

There’s nothing quite like it, and there are no shortage of rowing boats, motors boats, gondolas and cruisers to get you out on the Avon! The expansive Recreation Grounds are well worth a visit alone, the perfect place for a picnic, with mini golf and a park for the kids too. The Bancroft and Theatre Gardens lie on the other side of the river (a nice round walk of about a mile will take you back to the Rec). The Theatre Gardens in particular, leading down to Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare is buried, offer a great bit of tranquillity away from the crowds.
