We only live 15 miles away but had never been, We went on bank holiday monday. Quite busy and had to park in the overflow field. Seemed to get straught into the period feel. Arrived in time for the miday meal. The staff all stayed in character throughout as did most of the public. The room where they have the... More

Yes, a very good period farm with lots of animals etc, should be very attractive to children, we went there during a rural festival day, BUT not much Shakespearean interest really, could have sold itself just as a farm/rural life museum.

Lots of activities for children made this the hit of our stay for our daughter. Animals to feed and pet. Weaving to try and to take home. Floral wreaths to make and wear. Birds of pray to entertain you. Lots of staff in period constume, keen to involve children in their Tudor chores, and to explain what life was like... More

We should have really known from the name that this would be a farm, but because we had paid for the 5 house ticket we went. There were plenty of activities on throughout the day, mainly aimed at the May Day theme. As a young, aged 19 and 20, couple we didn't spend as much time as we hoped. There... More

Lots to see and do and living history, with costumed characters; as you visit each building. Step back in time and find out about the Elizabethan way of farming. Lots of activities for children at different times of the year. Very peaceful location, a bit off the beaten track and fairly close to Anne Hathaway's cottage. Best to go by... More

Our family of four went to the farm at about 2.30pm on a Friday and on arrival saw a couple of young families leaving - some of the very few people we were to actually see. We paid the entrance fee and headed in. It quickly became clear that a map might be required so I headed back out to... More

Mary Arden was Shakespeare's mother. She had inherited the land and the farm when her father died. The farm itself has been "improved" upon since Shakespeare's time, but the docents can give you an idea of exactly how it would have looked back then. It's very rustic, but has restrooms, a restaurant, gift shop, and demonstrations of life back in... More

It is fun for adults as well. But kids would benefit the most. Falconry, animals to play with, singing minstrels, actors playing the part of living in 1600's. Every kid I saw was loving it. My wife and i went because we bought the package ticket to see all things Shakespeare in Stratford upon Avon. I am glad we went... More
