We’re delighted to announce that Shakespeare’s Schoolroom and Guildhall in Stratford-upon-Avon have teamed up with Open Pass and their tickets are now available to purchase through our network of trade partners.
The popular attraction is proudly ‘where it all began’ for William Shakespeare as the place he was educated from 1571 – 1578 and brings the stories of his childhood years to life. The building has been described as “one of the most atmospheric, magical and important buildings in the whole of Britain,” and is celebrating its 600th anniversary this year.
Shakespeare’s Schoolroom and Guildhall have been part of the Open Pass family for a number of years now as one of the valued attractions included with the Shakespeare’s England Explorer Pass and we look forward to working more closely with them over the coming months and years.
If you would like to find out more about working with us as a trade partner or selling tickets for Shakespeare’s Schoolroom and Guildhall please give us a call on 01865 364537 or email [email protected] and our friendly team will talk you through the options.
It’s been a great start to the year for our destination passes with sales for January at an all time high! The passes have been selling well across the board with the numbers of sales of the Shakespeare’s England Explorer Pass steadily increasing month-on-month, and both the York City Pass and York & Beyond Explorer Pass selling in good numbers. The Edinburgh City Pass has had a phenomenal start to 2020 with its best monthly sales to date.
All our pass partners have worked hard to get their products out in front of a wider audience utilising our connections with big names like TripAdvisor as well as fine-tuning their marketing activities – and the hard work appears to be paying off!
This is very encouraging for Open Pass and the new destination passes that will be launching with us over the coming months.

We’re delighted to announce that the Explorer Pass now includes 18 attractions. Shakespeare Distillery have joined the Explorer Pass and their distillery tour has become the 18th attraction included with the pass, and is now available to pass holders for free. This new addition makes the Explorer Pass even better value as well as broadening the range of attractions included.
The Shakespeare Distillery is an independent artisan spirit producer based in Stratford-upon-Avon. Established in 2015, everything they produce is in small handcrafted batches, ensuring the best tasting spirits around!
At Shakespeare Distillery they are inspired by the Tudor period – the era in which Shakespeare lived. Thanks to Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries, the Tudor period became a time of great discovery, experimentation and innovation within the world of spirit production as people soon discovered that it could be a very nice recreational drink too – not just a medicine! They aim to recapture this period of innovation by fusing traditional and, in some cases, forgotten ingredients with modern techniques to create exciting new spirits.
They offer a range of ways to get involved and learn about their craft from Gin School to Cocktail Masterclasses as well as their distillery tours. The tours run on Wednesdays through to Sundays and are a fun way to learn about how gin is made and, of course, try some too in a tutored tasting session!
We very pleased to have Shakespeare Distillery onboard with the Explorer Pass and are looking forward to working with them. You can find out more about the distillery tours here and the Explorer Pass here.
Open Pass has had it’s best year to date in 2019 with nearly £2million worth of sales of passes, tickets and tours being generated through the system over the course of the year.
The Open Pass network has grown significantly with new trade partners and attractions joining the marketplace and realizing the benefits that the Open Pass system brings – a much wider audience plus increased ticket sales for attractions and an extra income stream for trade partners that also enhances their customers’ experience too.
The addition of several global partners including TripAdvisor and Klook has also helped to strengthen Open Pass’s offering to attractions and helped us to put their products in front of people all around the world.
The momentum of 2019 looks set to continue into 2020 with a new partnership with Travelcoup just announced.

We’re really proud of our growing global network that connects our attractions with customers all around the world. One of the large multi-national companies we have partnered with this year is Klook. Perhaps not as well-known as TripAdvisor and Expedia here in the UK, Klook is one of the largest Online Travel Agents in the world.
Here’s a little more about them and why they are good for your business:
Klook is a Hong Kong based company that was founded in 2014 to help tourists find things to do across Asia. The platform was an instant success with over 1,000 experiences available including big names like Disneyland Tokyo and over 200,000 users within their first 9 months after launching.
As well as serving Asian destinations, Klook also wanted to serve Asian travellers and set its sights on other destinations around the world and has continued to expand its reach year on year. In 2018 Klook opened an office in London and is starting to make progress in the UK marketplace.
They currently offer over 100,000 iconic travel experiences, tours and attractions in over 350 destinations across the world.
Putting your attraction on Klook gives you access to Asia-based tourists. Its predicted that Asian tourists, particularly the Chinese, will be the most prolific tourists in the world by 2030. Klook is already well-established across Asia and gives you instant access to this expanding marketplace and potentially hundreds-of-thousands of new customers.
And if that’s not enough for you, as one of the fastest growing companies in the industry Klook continues its ambitious expansion plans and is investing in the UK and European markets, and perhaps will rival the likes of TripAdvisor here in the not-to-distant future too.
Klook is also a pioneer in mobile-first technology and is ‘dedicated to making the booking process smooth and efficient for its customers’ as well as ensuring the success of local operators. In today’s fast-moving technological marketplace this makes them a valuable partner to have helping you to keep up-to-date and in front of customers with minimal hassle.
Partnering with Klook is simple – Open Pass handles the contracts and the set-up for you. If you’d like to find out more please give us a call on 01865 578875 or email [email protected]
