An RSC chauffeur is worth considering for any theatre evening at the Royal Shakespeare Company. It beats driving yourself and hoping for a decent parking space near the riverside. Stratford-upon-Avon gets busy in the evenings, particularly during a popular production's run. So a chauffeur takes the parking and the drive home out of the equation entirely.
The drive from Birmingham to Stratford-upon-Avon
It's a comfortable trip of around 40 minutes to an hour, depending on your starting point. That makes an RSC evening an easy trip from Birmingham rather than a full day's commitment. With a chauffeur, that short drive becomes part of a relaxed evening. As a result, you no longer need to plan around the traffic.
Timing your RSC chauffeur pickup around a performance
RSC performances typically run for a few hours, including an interval. Apex will plan your pickup around the actual scheduled end time of your specific performance. That means you're not left waiting outside the theatre after the show finishes. Equally, you won't rush to make an earlier drop-off time than the performance actually needs. You can check production times on the RSC's website before you book.
Dinner before the show with your RSC chauffeur
Stratford-upon-Avon has a good number of restaurants, many close to the theatre itself. Your RSC chauffeur can easily build a dinner stop into the same evening's booking. That way, dinner and the theatre become one evening instead of two separate trips.
Avoiding the evening car park rush
On theatre evenings, a large number of cars try to park in the same riverside area at a similar time. Then they all try to leave together once the performance ends. An RSC chauffeur avoids both ends of that entirely. You get a drop-off close to the theatre and a confirmed pickup once the show is over.
Booking a special evening
Stratford makes for a popular anniversary or birthday evening out from Birmingham. A chauffeur also adds more sense of occasion to the night than driving yourself would. This is especially true if dinner and a show are both part of the plan.
