It is hoped that as many as one million five to 11-year-olds will take part in next year's Shakespeare Week, which is planned to run from March 16 to 22.

The event, which is run by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust with funding from Arts Council England, took place for the first time last year and, in preparation for year two, the charity is extending its online provision of free cross-curricular resources for primary school children, including dedicated resources for key stage 1 and a new suite of key stage 2 resources for the autumn term. Plans are also being developed for a nationwide programme of activities for schools and families.
