Stratford-upon-Avon — The Federation on the ground

Stratford-upon-Avon — Shakespeare's birthplace, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and the River Avon — is two hours from Mayfair by FFGR driver. The RSC's main house and the Swan Theatre stage productions year-round; The Federation arranges pre-performance champagne at the Rooftop Restaurant, private tours of Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust properties, and post-theatre dinner at The Dirty Duck. Warwick Castle (twenty minutes) and the Cotswolds (thirty minutes) extend the literary experience.
