THE GATES will be open at Mary Arden’s Farm for a series of community days this summer.
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which cares for the former home of Shakespeare’s mother in Wilmcote, is currently closed to the general visitors and functions primarily as an educational centre.
The free entry community days will be taking place on Saturdays, on July 19 and 26 July, and August 16 and 23, will allow visitors to explore the property and see the heritage breed animals that call the property home.
There will be opportunities to take part in guided tours of Palmer’s Farmhouse and have the chance to watch traditional crafting in action.
SBT CEO Rachael North said: “We know that the Shakespeare family homes hold a special place at the heart of our communities and so I’m delighted that we are able to offer everyone the opportunity to join us at these community events to create new memories whilst enjoying a day at Mary Arden’s Farm this summer.”
