Shakespeare s Birthday Celebrations expected to remain virtual in 2021

Shakespeare s Birthday Celebrations expected to remain virtual in 2021  | Updated: 16:04, 13 January 2021 Stratford’s annual Shakespeare Celebrations are likely to remain largely virtual this year after organisers conceded April may be too soon to hold such a large gathering in the town. The event, which is organised by Stratford Town Council, regularly attracts thousands of visitors to Stratford in normal times. The celebrations were the focus of huge international attention in 2016 on the 400th anniversary of the Bard’s death, with Royals and stars of stage and screen visiting the town. It has been scaled back somewhat since that special year and with the pandemic sweeping the nation last Spring, the decision was quickly taken to move the event online in 2020 with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and RSC taking part.
