Dedicated coach terminal at Shakespeares Birthplace
Shakespeares Birthplace Coach Terminal is a council-managed surface facility dedicated to tour coaches and minibuses visiting Shakespeares Birthplace. It provides 12 marked bays, including two accessible spaces with extra width. Operating hours are 7 am7 pm daily; parking is free for up to 30 minutes for loading and unloading; longer stays incur a fee payable at the pay kiosk accepting coins, contactless, and RingGo. The reinforced tarmac surface is designed for heavy loads and inspected biannually; any surface damage is repaired within one week. LED floodlighting ensures visibility for early arrivals, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian areas. Pedestrian access leads directly to Shakespeares Birthplace entrance (1 minute walk) and to Henley Street attractions (3 minutes). No EV charging is available on-site; the nearest public rapid charger is at Stratford Marina Car Park, a 12-minute walk away. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a neat environment.
