Decking Maintenance Work - 8 September 2025

Over the next 10 to 12 weeks, we will be undertaking essential maintenance work on the decking next to the Riverside Cafe and alongside the River Avon. This means the access route between the Riverside Cafe and the Bankcroft/Swan Gardens will be closed during this time.

For access to and from the Bankcroft and Swan Gardens, please use the ramp footpath next to the Swan Gardens, along Waterside and around the front (roadside) of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Thank you for your patience while we complete the work.

The Riverside Cafe is open daily, serving takeaway drinks from 9am and opening fully from 10am. We serve teas, coffees, soft drinks and a wide range of cakes and sandwiches, until the building closes on non-show days, or until the end of the interval on show days.

The Riverside Terrace is now closed for the winter season. Please check back in spring for more information.
