Some Ideas on Leisure Days & Leisure Breaks
featuring a trip on a mainline steam train - The Shakespeare Express

The Shakespeare Express at Snow Hill 
Nigel Spurr

Travelling on the Shakespeare Express provides an ideal nostalgic highlight for a day for you and your family & friends.  It could even be a highlight of a weekend break in the Midlands in Stratford, Birmingham or a neighbouring town or village. Many of our customers just come for the ride - that in itself is indeed an excellent day out.

This page offers a few suggestions on how you can incorporate a train ride on the Shakespeare Express with other leisure activities. We give you information about other things that you could see or do in conjunction with a trip on our train. A sort of "starter for ten".  We are sure there are many more ideas, and we have been surprised how customers have blended the Shakespeare Express into their leisure day out.
