Costume Warehouse and Archives – 350 Douro Street, Stratford

Come and see the tour that has been over 70 years in the making! Explore, reminisce, and discover what decades of theatre history looks like as we take you through our Costume Warehouse and Archives. Our Guides will walk you through “history in the making” as you learn how each prop and costume has defined our past and continues to revolutionize our future here at the Stratford Festival.

“Learning about the intricacies that go on 'behind the scenes' adds so much to one's appreciation of the performances. Seeing all those thousands of costumes and prop pieces—and learning about the research, cleverness and time that go into creating them was fascinating!!!”
