The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which manages five homes connected to the world-renowned playwright, said it is only his home that will re-open on 1 August "We are a charity and we need to look at the best way to use our limited resources," Rachael O'Connor Boyd, director of visitor experience and business development, said.

From next month, visitors will have to wear face coverings and book online. Entry tickets will also be timed and Elizabethan actors will no longer be around to greet and entertain visitors
