RSC’s new costume workshop ‘the largest in British theatre’

The Royal Shakespeare Company plans to reopen its in-house costume workshop at Stratford-upon-Avon, the largest of its kind in the UK, next year.

Thirty costume makers will work from the space and new apprenticeships will be created.

30,000 people and national funders supported a fundraising campaign, raising £8.7m for the workshop's restoration and redevelopment.

The site will be open to visitors for guided tours.
