Welcome to STMO's
Magic Alley - where magic truly begins.
Laugh, have fun and seek the magic for yourselves.
Situated in the heart of Stratford upon Avon, just three doors from the entrance to William Shakespeares birthplace,
prepare to be amazed, astonished and astounded by Stratford's most unique visitor experience spread over three floors
in one of the town's most historically significant buildings.

Magic Begins just yards from Shakespeare's birthplace, in
Henley Street. Once
you enter the mysteriously magical and well maintained Magic Alley, you find yourself in a place with over 450 years
of history and where anything can, and frequently does, happen.... If you stroll past the reception desk you can choose to
walk on to the Golden Broomstick (our Tea Garden), the world famous Wand Shop and Apothecary where the air cools and
the scent of magic is palpable in the air, or, you could
choose to purchase a ticket and to climb the creaky winding staircase and begin your spookily magical journey through Magic
School and the Enchanted Manor.
Here Dr Thaddeus Bombay, one of history's most colourful characters, awaits
your arrival to introduce you to some of his dearly departed friends and relatives. Don't worry - too much!
While the Enchanted Manor on the second floor contains some spooky subject matter there is no gore and no-one jumps out at
you; the ghostly residents are, for the most part, friendly and the genuinely spooky experience is appropriate for all ages
from 6 to 96.
The Victorian Imagiscarium, however, is strictly for grown ups - sorry!

The Golden Broomstick Tearoom and Walled Garden
Stratford's most magical tea room and garden is tucked away at the rear of Magic Alley and is
an absolute find. Modelled on the Buffet Service of the Great Wizarding Railway it is packed full of magical items including
the strange and curious Golden Broomsticvk itself.
Join us for a refreshing glass of Iced Pumpkin Juice,
Dr Thaddeus Bombay's Original Recipe Butterbeer and toasted crumpets or a Spiced Pumpkin Coffee and Cauldron Cup Cakes.
With a daily cake selection, toasted tea cakes and Stratford's widest range of herbal teas there is something here
for everyone. Oh, and we also do coffees and fizzy drinks too!

Our Address Magic Alley - Where Magic Begins Henley Street Stratford upon Avon CV37 6QW
Where Is That? You'll find us situated at the "Jester"
or "Windsor Street" end of Stratford's only pedestrianised street - Henley Street. Simply follow the signs
to Shakespeare's birthplace - and we are literally three doors away, you can't miss us!
The Closest Car
Park The closest car park to us is the Windsor Street multi storey car park which is 2 minutes walk away and there are
disabled parking spaces outside. The cheapest car park however is the Widsor Street Surface Level car park which is
just 10 yards further down Windsor Street on the left hand side.
The Train Station The train station is approximately a ten minute stroll away - and most coaches stop either at the Windsor Street
Terminal at the top of the road or at the Leisure Centre which is by the river. The Leisure Centre is a gentle stroll
of about 15 minutes from us.
The Park And Ride Stratford upon Avon
has a Park and Ride service that operates during the daytime - you can find out more by visiting their website: Please
Note: The museum is situated over several levels in a building that dates back over 450 years - please bear
in mind that there are steep stairways and narrow passageways and therefore may not be suitable for those with mobility issues
and is not buggy/pushchair friendly ~ sorry!
