Moving to or from Stratford‑upon‑Avon? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the Tourist Coaches Send You Round in Circles)

Welcome to Stratford‑upon‑Avon — Warwickshire’s world‑famous market town, where half‑timbered buildings meet the River Avon and Shakespeare’s legacy keeps the visitor numbers sky‑high. With around 30,000 residents who know every back route to avoid the theatre‑day traffic, Stratford blends historic charm with modern living.

Schools That Actually Impress

Stratford Girls’ Grammar School, King Edward VI School, and Stratford School all carry strong reputations, with excellent results and competitive admissions. Add in nearby independent options and strong primaries, and you’ve got plenty of choice — plus parents comparing grades over coffee on Sheep Street.

Economy With a Balance

Stratford’s economy is powered by tourism, hospitality, retail, and the Royal Shakespeare Company, alongside a strong base of local businesses and commuters heading to Warwick, Leamington, and Birmingham. With quick access to the M40, it’s a town that’s cultured, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Quoting Shakespeare)

Royal Shakespeare Theatre – world‑class performances in a stunning riverside setting.
The Bancroft Gardens & River Avon – picnics, boat trips, and swan‑spotting galore.
Local favourites – Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, canal walks, and a pint in one of the many historic pubs.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t stop the tourist coaches clogging up the town centre, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than the traffic on Bridge Street in July)

• Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Stratford is just the start of the adventure)
