The building on Henley Street is owned by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, who late last year revealed their plans to turn it into a new destination cafe/restaurant called Will’s Kitchen, once Patisserie Valerie’s lease expired.

My heart sinks. It would be nice to have something 'new' that isn't Shakespeare related.

I never knew and surprised to learn that The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust owns the building, it must be worth a couple of million . I guess the Shakespeare industry is a big tourist attraction for Stratford. Could it survive without it?

It's probably got to the stage where the town can't survive without the tourist industry. I can remember when Stratford still felt like it belonged to the townsfolk, now a lot of locals call it 'Blackpool on Avon'
