Shaw’s Corner, Ayot St Lawrence

See a George Bernard Shaw play at his home, Shaw’s Corner. For two weekends each summer, the late playwright's garden becomes an open-air amphitheatre. Spread out on the lawn and enjoy classic tales before the backdrop of the iconic country house. Shaw took up residence there in 1906, hosting luminaries like Lawrence of Arabia, Albert Einstein, Charlie Chaplin and Gandhi. Up for a stroll about the quaint village of Ayot St. Lawrence? See the ruins of a medieval church. Enjoy a pint in a 14th-century pub that sits beside a cottage where Shaw's play A Village Wooing is set. Perhaps the ambiance and ale will inspire you to do some wooing of your own.
