The Guildhall of St George - Shakespeare performed here
Heritage Open Day: Unique historic theatre. See the floorboards that Shakespeare once trod The site was given to the already existing Guild of St George by Royal Charter in 1406 with a second Royal Charter confirming this in 1461. The present Guildhall was built between 1410 and 1430. It is the largest extant medieval Guildhall in the country with two outstanding ceilings still intact. It has an unrivalled history of theatre with the first performance being in 1445: new research supports local tradition that William Shakespeare’s company performed in the Guildhall in 1592/3. It is the oldest working theatre in the country and the only one still surviving in which Shakespeare performed.
