Settled on the bank of the River Thames, this temple-like pavilion was built by the great 18th century actore-manager David Garrick to celebrate the renowned play write William Shakespeare. The pis de resistance is a life sized statue of Shakespeare that Garrick had commissioned from the sculptor Roubiliac. A small exhibition is held here to commemorate the lives of both artists with themed events held in the summer months.
Public openings are held on Sunday afternoons from 2pm-5pm. For more information click here.
