Henry’s Café

Beverages, antiques and books.

Henry’s Café is centrally located in a former bank in Upton-upon-Severn. It provides meals and coffees, but owner Elisabeth Drake also sources books and antiques for her discerning clientele. Describing how the business came by its name, Elizabeth explains that Henry was her brother, who sadly died at just 50-years-old in 2014. “He was a biochemist, but his real passion was history, particularly of the Ancient Rome and Greek period, and during his lifetime he accumulated a vast collection of books.” Across three floors, the premises offer a pet-friendly ground floor, with seating, books and antiques on the first and second levels. Pianist Christian Cox performs classical and jazz pieces every Saturday at 2.30pm. The café is also introducing Autumn jazz evenings on the last Friday of the month, when bookings are essential.

Seek the Magic

Lose yourself in a magical adventure.

This summer, immerse yourself in the spellbinding stories created by children’s author Dave Matthews as they are brought to life in the magical setting of the new Magic Alley in Stratford’s Bell Court. The new 4,500 square foot experience brings together the time travelling adventures of the young Will Shakespeare and his friends Alice and Dr Thaddeus Bombay.

You’ll be inspired by Will’s Magic Quill before taking part in a Shakespearean Music Lesson; you can dress up as wizards or pirates; write a letter to send by their very own Owl Postal Service and even collect the ingredients to cook up a magic spell with a bit of help from the Ministry of Time as you go. And that’s just for starters!

Before you leave you can graduate from Magic School, grab an original Tudor recipe ButterBeer and gingerbread cauldron before browsing the magic wands and treating yourself to one of the latest books in the series.

So, go ahead, grab a quill and ask yourself: What adventure will you discover when you visit?
