Stratford-upon-Avon's Visitor Information Centre

Stratford-upon-Avon's Visitor Information Centre (VIC) relocated to its original location in Bridgefoot on 1^st February 2012. The reopening of the visitor centre is as a result of Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Stratford-upon-Avon College working together to deliver this service to visitors and residents.

Martin Penny, Principal of Stratford-upon-Avon college says: “The new Visitor Information Centre is back in its right location; this fabulous facility has been designed to meet the needs of visitors and residents of our town and District. It is a perfect example of what can be achieved when people work together, and enables the Apprentices from our college to deliver services in a real working environment."

Councillor Valerie Hobbs, Enterprise, Housing & Revenues Portfolio says: “This opening event is the culmination of a lot of planning and hard work. Stratford-upon-Avon now has a visitor information centre to be proud of.  The Centre has a great new look and feel. I am sure it will provide a warm welcome for visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon showcasing everything the town and the District have to offer.  I would like to wish the College every success in their new premises."
