Accommodation in Stratford-upon-Avon
The Shakespeare Institute, unlike the Edgbaston campus at the University of Birmingham, does not have its own accommodation. There are many sources of accommodation in Stratford-upon-Avon. If you are studying a campus-based programme, we can help you find somewhere to live.
