I went to Mary Arden's House/Palmer's Farm in Wilmcote back in the summer.
The farm is a museum based around what agriculture was like back in Shakespeare's time, but that's where the connection ends. There are guides in costume who show you how things were done; there were even a couple of women trying to work out how something worked through trial & error (it was a new exhibit, and nobody knew how it operated!) There was even a falconary display where the falconer allowed you to hold the bird (a Harris Hawk in my case!)
Definately worth a look around, and there's a nice walk along the canal from Stratford if you fancy doing that too (aout 3 miles).
