Shakespeare’s childhood countryside — live Tudor history
Mary Arden’s Farm is the childhood home of Shakespeare’s mother — now a working Tudor farm with costumed guides, rare-breed animals and hands-on activities. It’s immersive, friendly and brilliant for children.
Expect daily demonstrations, falconry displays, traditional crafts and plenty of space for little ones to explore. It’s one of the most engaging heritage experiences in the area.
Host tips
✓ Arrive for morning animal feeding — kids love it
✓ Falconry displays run on most weekends
✓ Combine with Stratford for a full Shakespeare day
