The Greg Hall on Henley Street is safe from the themeparkification of Stratford: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/st-gregorys-hall-in-stratford-safe-from-demolition/

Just found an old thread on this topic, and merged it with this one. The Stratford Gateway/World Shakespeare Centre's been on the books for nearly a decade, and something's only just happening: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c88z3z5p7e8o

Another white elephant for the zoo?

The project's been given a pile of cash: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/stratford-gateway-project-to-be-given-multi-million-pound-kickstart-50830/

I'm becoming less convinced by the viability of these projects by the day. It might just be me, but Stratford seems to be haemorrhaging visitors: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/shakespeare-hub-moves-a-step-closer-51126/

Stratford's a one-trick pony, heavily dependent on tourism fuelled by interest in Shakespeare himself. It should feed the cultural interests of the visitors, not try to be a glitzy funfair town with Shakespeare himself being a minor interest. Dumbing down is often counterproductive.

There have been rumours going around for a while that the District Council is making life difficult for other towns in the area by dumping a load of red tape on them, because they're doing a better job of attracting visitors than Stratford.

Planning for the WSC has started. Create a sentence that includes the words 'horse', 'flog' and 'dead': https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/planning-begins-for-a-world-shakespeare-campus-in-stratford-54427/
