Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon
Home to the Bard himself - well, his plays at least; the man's been unavailable for comment since 1616. Sitting right on the banks of the Avon in Stratford-upon-Avon, this iconic theatre puts on world-class Shakespeare and beyond, and it's far less stuffy than you might fear. Take the kids - they might just discover that 400-year-old drama is a lot more gripping than their screens.
