Granja de Mary Arden

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent as always. The young lady who did tour guide of house on 3rd sept was so knowledgeable and with the right amount of humour. Interacted with everyone. A pleasure visiting

Experiencia positiva: Good range of things to do - had a go at archery, and there was willow weaving. Small cafe, mainly tea and cake. Cute animals for children. :)

Experiencia fantástica: Very well preserved building. Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. If you visit the farm mind your head as you go round.

Experiencia fantástica: Love Stratford and have been to Mary Arden's working farm often pre Covid. Was fabulous to be able to visit again and enjoyed doing all the activities offered including weaving, archery, colouring fun and listening to Shakespearen stories. Also took a tour of the farmhouse given by a lovely lady called Katie in period costume. She had so much knowledge and was genuinely passionate about the history of the farm. Really friendly, bubbly and able to answer all questions asked of her. An amazing day. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you.

Experiencia positiva: Guide was well versed in the subject matter, pricing was reasonable, parking was ample!

Experiencia positiva: Pretty cottage. Wasn't open to go in on Thursday. But can see it from road.

Experiencia fantástica: House was closed when we were passing, beautiful building, looked extra nice in the snow.

Experiencia negativa: Come on guys get your act together: the lockdown is well over- this is not the black death! How is this town going too make any money if all its attractions are shut?

Experiencia fantástica: Super interesting to visit. Shakespeare fan or not, this farm will add a new chapter to your knowledge about old times life activities.

Experiencia fantástica: The childhood home of Shakespeare's mother. Today you can experience all the sights, sounds and smells of a working Tudor farm, just as it would have been when Shakespeare was a boy. Watch "Tudors" go about their daily routine, see rare breed animals and explore nature trails.

Experiencia fantástica: Really enjoyed our little impromtu visit here.. Bella the 20 week old owl made it for me

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic place! Very interactive with lots of informative staff who make it all come to life that little bit more!

Experiencia fantástica: Working Tudor farm and farmhouse on the Shakespeare tour, staff wear period clothing giving demonstrations and information. Excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful place to spend whole day.

Experiencia fantástica: Our favourite farm in the UK. All the animals are well cared for, the entrance price (your ticket is valid for a year!) is reasonable and the staff is great in explaining history. There is also a lovely playground, free parking and a good cafe.

Experiencia fantástica: Great value for money, friendly and informative day out.

Experiencia fantástica: The real deal. Everything, down to smallest details is in period. The dress, the farm, everything. Quite atmospheric and very well run

Experiencia fantástica: This place was a pleasant surprise. As a working Tudor farm there was no shortage of things to see and do. From the numerous types of livestock on the grounds to seeing what life was like in the time of Shakespeare, it was all very informative. The falconer demonstration on the lawn was truly fantastic and shouldn’t be missed.

Experiencia fantástica: Cracking day out particularly if you've already visited one of the other attractions. Well worth the money for entrance into all sites. Definitely the better one to take the kids to, great play area and lots to keep them entertained. I will say though its probably only half a days worth.

Experiencia fantástica: Great tourist attraction, farm animal petting zoo with birds of prey, cafe, great play space. A little bit pricey. Option to buy a multi event ticket makes it better value for long stays and locals

Experiencia fantástica: A lovely working Tudor farm. The volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable and there is loads to see and do for all ages.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic place. Very surprised at how good it was. The staff were dressed up in traditional costumes and were very enthusiastic when demonstrating how a family meal would have been prepared and eaten. Great bird of prey show. Lovely building.

Experiencia fantástica: This is an excellent place to visit and with the pass for all the sites is excellent value. Really enjoyed the falconry display. Also the Tudor dinner and link betweenvTudor times and today. It was fascinating and brilliant. Chdten will really love this place. Of note it is closed from early November so check the website first.

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant as always. Loved the 6 new piglets and had a very pleasant walk round the woodland walk.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to go and spend ALL day. Staff is amazing, they know a lot about the farm and history of the site. There is a lot of animals that are very friendly. Farms gives you real time travel experience. Cottage houses are very well preserved! I really enjoyed talks in the woodworking shed and in the clothing&materials site. Reserve all day! Parking on site is free!

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting day out. On paper you'd think this would be the least interesting of the Shakespeare tour, but it was actually the best! Very enthusiastic and helpful staff who stayed in character and taught us a lot about the period.

Experiencia positiva: A really good fun place to learn about Tudor times. Live demonstrations and animals to see, well worth a visit.

Experiencia negativa: We were enjoying our visits until we see wild birds stuck for exhibition in a short cable. You could see how unhappy theur were and some irritated like the eagle. It is ridicoulous that local authorities alliw them to do this with the animals. They should go to jail. My friends and I regret to visit and to leave monry and gift aid for this terrible charity!

Experiencia fantástica: Great day out even though some areas were closed due to the weather. The falconer was brilliant and the restaurant had loads of gluten free options, highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant place lots to see, like going back in time. Was good to watch the girls cooking in the Tudor kitchen and the bird of prey show was brilliant the man had a barn owl and was really good with him and very informative. Everyone there was friendly and helpful and spoke all the time as if it was in the Tudor age.Be good for kids to with farm animals to see A good day out and excellent value if you get as part of the 5 place Shakespeare ticket.

Experiencia fantástica: A regular favourite with all our kids - 11, 9 and 3. Various activities, archery, falconry etc and you get to watch the Tudors each lunch! Most informative and very amusing. The kids never let us miss that out!

Experiencia negativa: We were not aware until we played, that the only part of the farm open was the very poor play area and farm quadrangle and house.The open fields and animals were off limits due to wet ground.Very disappointing for 4 Iittle children ,parents and grandparents.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. Well worth a visit. Very good value.

Experiencia positiva: A lovely place with lots of activities especially for children. Authentic buildings and informative staff.

Experiencia fantástica: A relaxing day out suitable for all the family. With a range of activities that will keep kids entertained and provide a lighthearted look at the life of a Tudor farm. Brilliant cafe facilities and a picnic shelter allow you to spend a whole day here in comfort!!

Experiencia positiva: We went along here in the tour of the historical sites around Stratford. It was a lovely place with a great scenery. We did buy some animal feed when we got there expecting to be able to feed the animals. There were only 2 goats to feed in the entire place. It's a good place to visit for around an hour. Would we visit again? Probably not.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a fab day out , really informative and and the kids loved feeding the animals , also a lovely walk around on a nice day with demonstrations from farm workers and a falconer, I would definitely go again !

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit

Experiencia fantástica: What a fantastic and educational place to visit, it really is a step into the past. Even if you dont know much about the Tudor period the very knowledgeable and well dressed staff who acted in period costume, ways and verse brought the Tudor period back to life. Along with an Archery education/demonstrate/ have a go, the birds of prey on show that are displayed and do display, the farm animals, the Tudor carving,writing, embroidery and basket making ,it all adds up to an enjoyable day. We will certainly be back. My wife and I cant thank everyone there enough for making our visit so enjoyable. Cheers.

Experiencia positiva: Great farm to spend a few hours with the kids. Lots of different farm animals for the kids to see and learn from. Kids play area to keep the little ones busy while you take a break.

Experiencia fantástica: A lovely morning spent here

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting visit. Learnt a lot, particularly from the "servants" from Mary Arden's time. They seemed to love their jobs and telling us what their lives were like! The buildings also were very well looked after and seemed very authentic

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting, went on a school trip here and the children loved seeing the animals

Experiencia fantástica: A very entertaining and informative place. A wonderful setting with great staff and a nice cafe.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely (and surprisingly) brilliant day out with the kids (all pre teens), so much to do we didn't manage to do everything. Food slightly expensive, but really good quality, even kids meals.

Experiencia fantástica: This trust is amazing. Thank you for preserving these wonderful homes. I am so grateful P. T. Barnum didn't get the chance to take thes away. The staff are amazing, and Mal welfare is superb and the cafe is gorgeous. Can't wait to revisit on the annual pass.

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant for kids. Loved that the costumed staff and authentic cooking. Didn't learn an awful lot about Shakespeare but still good. Cafe is good.

Experiencia fantástica: Great day out. Staff in period dress and working on the farm. I had a go at spinning wool, I'm not a natural! Unusual varieties of farm animals. Watching the midday meal (food looked excellent) with questions being prompted and answered was fascinating. I now know where the phrase 'chairman of the board' originated and why elbows should be kept off the table.

Experiencia fantástica: We had so much fun here. The workers on the farm were full of kbowledge. Loved the animals and the new born piglets.

Experiencia fantástica: This is an ideal place to spend half a day with kids. There lots of animals and a playground for them, plus lots of great historical sites and information for kids and adults. It is included on the multi site Shakespeare tickets. Those tickets last for a year so are a great value. There is an adequate cafeteria. There are lots of activities and tours.

Experiencia fantástica: Super friendly staff, cool animals, lovely place. I loved the birds of prey shows.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit, it's like a working farm, you can watch the women prepare the food, then they sit and you can watch them eat it as they discuss the proper manners of the times

Experiencia fantástica: Brilliant! Cannot rate the farm high enough! It was a very educational and fun walk back in time. The staff/volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and the day is packed with a fun itinerary. Ideal for families with children with loads of friendly animals, places to wash hands and picnic areas. Well worth the ticket price but I would personally recommend buying online to save 10% and buy and annual pass which includes Shakespeare's birthplace, Shakespeare's new place, halls croft, Anne Hathaway's cottage and Mary Arden farm.

Experiencia fantástica: Great family day out. Plenty to see. Performances and shows throughout the day, restaurant on site or you could opt to have a picnic. Outdoor play area. Really enjoyed.

Experiencia fantástica: All the park was fun and entertaining with all the animals and the time passing things. You can pet almost every animal there.

Experiencia fantástica: got here near closing but staff was very informative, had a go at geese herding to,

Experiencia fantástica: Very educational and has beautiful gardens. Mary's house is magical and to know there was history there was amazing! John Palmers Farm was wonderfully Amazing!!! Loads of animals and walks to pass the time. Adventure area for kids. Regular shows including Archery and Falconry. Worth buying a family year pass to get into 4 other sites.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit. Looked like all the kids enjoyed it. Lots to see and learn. Try and watch the falconry show it was brill very informative.

Experiencia fantástica: Well worth going out to see this place. We took the hop on hop off sightseeing bus. This is the furthest point of its route. There is plenty to see especially for families. Animals, play areas and demonstrations. The Barn Owl display very good and entertaining. 2 hours soon passed and the bus came in just as we were leaving.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved my visit here! Many aminals to see and interact with, and actors are amazing and funny the the house itself is beautiful.

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed walking around....Falconery lecture entertaining and informative

Experiencia fantástica: We had a brilliant time here. The staff in their medieval costumes were fantastic. There is so much to take in. The Falconry display was excellent. Some people made comments about the cafe food so we took our own. However looking at the menu we wished we had eaten there.

Experiencia fantástica: Went to watch Oddsocks production of a Midsummer Night's Dream. Absolutely fabulous!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for a trip out. Out of the Shakespeare locations this is definitely the child centric one but still interesting to be in and around! The staff are all very knowledgeable on the subject and clearly enjoy working there which makes for a lovely environment. They do also have activities on occasion such as story telling and flower garland making so definitely check them out if you go!

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely family day out. Farm animals, birds of prey exhibition, crafts demonstration, the house and history, can't fault it or the staff and entry price includes 12 months re-admission. Beautiful.

Experiencia fantástica: My son has been coming here ever since he could walk. He loves it! I invested in a season ticket and its good value for all the visits we have. He loves.... the playground; The animals; the barns; the playground; the houses; the willow tunnel; the wood; the playground; the pigs;the donkeys; the open spaces in the fields; Lunch in the cafe. Did I mention the playground?

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed visit. Interesting old buildings including Mary Arden's house. Brilliant child friendly farm area.

Experiencia fantástica: It's like being in Tudor times, it's a really good place to visit I enjoyed my time there are learned alot. There's lots of places to visit and activities going on throughout the day and there is something for every age group to get involved in.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic place to take the kids. Buy a ticket for all Shakespeare's houses and you can go as many times as you like. The place is beautifully restored and has lots of people in period dress to tell you about the history. The animals are very accessible and friendly with plenty of places to wash your hands. The food in the restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced and with good veggie options. The kids particularly liked the archery and the excellent falconry display. Will definitely go again. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Worth a visit. Tudor themed farm, some interesting crafts, lovely animals and the bird of prey display was informative and he kept us all interested and laughing. Good morning or afternoon out. Has picnic areas, cafe, toilets, historic interest.

Experiencia fantástica: Shakespeare's mother's farm where staff are dressed in period costumes and demonstrating working practices of the time. When we visited groups of schoolchildren were being taught about various topics, they also were allowed to dress in period costumes and took part in hands on sessions which the staff were making great fun

Experiencia fantástica: An excellent day out. Lots of activities and the Falconer was great entertainment with the birds landing on your table. The house is virtually as it would have been in Mary Arden's day so very authentic and the actors in period costume were very informative. The open top bus stops here so easy to get to if visiting Stratford.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit very kid friendly (but also good for adults too - went without kids) this is grouped together with the other Shakespeare attractions in the area so if you are going to another attraction then I would buy a multiple attraction ticket (you can get a ticket for all 5 Shakespeare things or just 3 but you need to buy it at the tourist info center). The farm was fun make sure to buy the animal food (50p) my favorite part was to go up to the sheep enclosure and shake the bag and all the sheep came running over - you get a lot more than 50p of enjoyment out of it.

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful place to step back into Tudor times and experience how life would have been lived. It really is a working Tudor farm! I especially love watching them prepare and eat dinner, and the falconry display. Perfect day out for every age.

Experiencia fantástica: Interactive Tudor farm experience. Bird show was very fun. Staff get involved allowing you to get involve spinning wool or hearding chickens. Great play areas for kids of all ages. Cafe had a good menu covering a wide variety of diets. Definately worth a look.

Experiencia negativa: I did enjoy the farm and farmers acting, but i was really sad when i saw that all birds of prey were tied to a pole with 10inch leash. Please fix this. Its not natural for them to be confines in 1sqm area. Thumbs down

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely superb, we went as adults, do not miss, falconry superb, cooking and meal demonstration excellent. Superb value as one of the five Shakespeare houses

Experiencia positiva: A fantastic insight into the farming lives of the Tudor era. Great for young kids with the farm animals and daily events. Tudor lunch was really interesting. As with all the Shakespeare/tudor locations it is a little expensive by itself but when bought with a ticket for every location it's certainly worth a 2-3 hour visit.

Experiencia fantástica: For families with young kids, the annual pass for this farm is amazing value. It has great falconry shows, a playground (really for 5+), farm animals, a fun willow tunnel and fields to run in, crafts, cafe and places to picnic. The staff are friendly and fun playing different characters. Runs a few events; last Sunday they had a real 'unicorn' for their Midsummer Madness, plus puppet shows. Not much to see in the buildings, it is an outdoor venue really. Fantastic for a Sunday afternoon for a young family, not too busy. The pass also gets you into some other historic Stratford sites but this is the one we revisit regularly.

Experiencia fantástica: Great day out and the falconry display was fantastic, worth the admission price on it's own.

Experiencia positiva: I absolutely loved this place. Lots of history and animals to see. It's perfect for kids and all the staff is funny and helpful. I spent there about an hour, but better stay a bit more

Experiencia fantástica: This Tudor farm, home to William Shakespeare's mother, retains its fascinating authenticity with reenactments and demonstrations. Lots of farm animals and friendly and helpful staff, dressed in Tudor costume, brings olde world daily life into our lives in an informative and entertaining way.

Experiencia positiva: Our first visit and we will be back. Beautiful setting. We will bring a picnic next time though as the food on offer is limited and pricey.

Experiencia fantástica: This was our 2nd visit to this amazing place. What can I say, its a wonderful experience its like entering a different age in our history. So clearly explained to us as we were taken on a tour by one so we'll informed guide. It's like time travel. Move over Dr Who.!

Experiencia fantástica: Watching the Tudor actors having lunch was so interesting. Lots of Tudor history facts in books are not true!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent with something to make everybody happy. Effort has been made to inform and reproduce time as it was. Best part of the five major interests associated with Shakespeare, and great value at £21 for the five (oap). Well worth a visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Briliant, lots to see & do for all ages, costumed staff, lovely setting & over all very pleasant, fun & historical place to visit. Loved it.

Experiencia positiva: Very good lots of things to see, but find all of the fields and willow tunnel.

Experiencia positiva: Really really nice place but let down by the staff not knowing how to get my double buggy with my sleeping twins in the entrance . I ended up with two toddlers having their naps cut short because they wouldn't offer me an alternative entrance that the buggy could actually get through. Also, I'm hoping the animals get some time in the fields. The donkeys and a mother cow with its calf as well as a horse were in a small pen.

Experiencia fantástica: We have always enjoyed our trips to Mary Ardens farm. We buy a pass every year. It's a lovely place, staff are friendly and interesting, facilities are good. My toddler loves feeding the animals.

Experiencia negativa: Honestly I didnt like the fact that they have caged animals - to be more specific the birds. They even put a sign saying that the birs are there at their free will and that they are allowed to fly everyday and they are the ones they choose to return, which I don't believe because then why have them chain in their cages? Also they have an owl which is receiving light all day, which makes him blind. I am sorry but this is animal cruelty. I get that you have other farm animals, but chaining the birds is just a little too much to handle. And honestly The actual house is not anything special. I would recommend much more Ann's Hathaway Cottage that this farm.

Experiencia positiva: A very fun and educational experience. The family thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it!

Experiencia fantástica: Very educational and has beautiful gardens. Mary's house is magical and to know there was history there was amazing! John Palmers Farm was wonderfully Amazing!!! Loads of animals and walks to pass the time. Adventure area for kids. Regular shows including Archery and Falconry. Worth buying a family year pass to get into 4 other sites.

Experiencia fantástica: A great place to visit regardless of your interest, it's not just about Shakespeare. It's all about how we used to live in Shakespeare's times. It like a working Tudor farm with lots of displays and re-enactments. There are walks, places to picnic and a great cafe. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: It's not just a farm and that's most because they have a very proffesional staff. They wear traditional clothes witch it's very nice.

Experiencia positiva: The farm echoes back to the days of Tudors, with activities dotted around the farm. The staff are wonderful, they are very enthusiastic and a real wealth of knowledge. Its a great place to bring kids, as there are plenty of activities that they'll enjoy as well as hopefully find interesting; the farm is not just for kids though, there is plenty that adults can get from the experience, especially if you're willing to ask questions.

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible! Great for children they have opportunities to learn, many workshops to do. It is engaging. And I loved the presentation of lunch in Tudor times. The ladies were brilliant. Thank you!

Experiencia positiva: Mary Arden's farm was a unique experience. It was like going back in time to see how people lived in the 16th century. The hosts were very good as they played their characters well.

Experiencia fantástica: Great family place to go
