The 2025 reunion takes place in Stratford, Taranaki, in the North Island of New Zealand. The town is close to Mount Taranaki (Egmont) and celebrates its link with Stratford-upon-Avon with its own Shakespeare festival and the glockenspiel clock tower in the main street. Four times a day this features a mechanised scene of Romeo and Juliet.
Further details can be viewed here.
Residents of the Stratford-upon-Avon area are welcome to join with Stratfordians from around the world. Attendees are responsible for organising their own travel to and from Stratford New Zealand and there is a registration fee to cover some of the cost of the hospitality there. Accommodation is free as it is provided on a homestay basis although you can make your own arrangements if you prefer.
To register for the trip, please complete the form here.
Please note that places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis by the NZ committee.
