To commemorate the Coronation of His Majesty The King, Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, Tim Cox, will attend the planting of an English Oak tree in the Swan Gardens at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Date: Friday 27 June 2025
Time: 12:00pm
Location: Swan Gardens, Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), Stratford-upon-Avon
The tree is a lasting tribute to the King and reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and community heritage.
As part of the event, two children from Stratford Primary School will share their hopes and dreams for Stratford in the decade ahead - offering a poignant glimpse into the aspirations of the town’s future generation.
The area will be decorated with banners created for Shakespeare’s Birthday celebrations by four Stratford Primary schools, Bridgetown, Bishopton, Shottery and Stratford Primary, with artist Jessica Hartshorn. Each banner is based on a different Shakespeare play as well as representing a different season.
Media are kindly asked to arrive by 11:45am.
