The film 'Hamnet,' which has garnered 11 BAFTA nominations and 8 Oscar nominations, including a leading actress nod for Jessie Buckley, has significantly boosted tourism at Shakespeare's heritage sites in Stratford-upon-Avon. Richard Paterson, Chief Operating Officer for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, reported a visitor increase of 15 to 20 percent since the film's release in January 2026. The sites, which typically attract around 250,000 visitors annually from various regions, including the UK, Europe, and the United States, are seeing a surge of interest, particularly in Anne Hathaway's cottage, where tourists are eager to learn about the family's life and the landscape that inspired Shakespeare. Paterson stated, "I think that will only continue as we go throughout the year."
