Just found an old thread on this topic, and merged it with this one. The Stratford Gateway/World Shakespeare Centre's been on the books for nearly a decade, and something's only just happening: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c88z3z5p7e8o
Another white elephant for the zoo?
The project's been given a pile of cash: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...ckstart-50830/
I'm becoming less convinced by the viability of these projects by the day. It might just be me, but Stratford seems to be haemorrhaging visitors: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...-closer-51126/
Stratford's a one-trick pony, heavily dependent on tourism fuelled by interest in Shakespeare himself. It should feed the cultural interests of the visitors, not try to be a glitzy funfair town with Shakespeare himself being a minor interest. Dumbing down is often counterproductive.
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
There have been rumours going around for a while that the District Council is making life difficult for other towns in the area by dumping a load of red tape on them, because they're doing a better job of attracting visitors than Stratford.
