The combination of animals,
beautiful countryside and value for money make Cannon Hall
Open Farm a place which appeals to the whole family. There
are plenty of baby animals on show whatever time of the year
you choose to visit this award-winning venue. There's always
something new to see on each trip and the playful piglets are
popular all year round. Spring lambing is a favourite time for
many and lambs are born from Christmas right through to Easter
when pygmy goat kids arrive. These little fellows will be
particularly keen to meet you if you pick up a bag of animal
food at the farm entrance. Blossom the huge shire horse is
often hungry too and, like the donkeys, hates to be left out
when there is food around. Alongside those animals you might
expect to find on a farm you'll also find unusual creatures
like llamas and wallabies and, if you're really lucky you
might see a baby joey peeping out of it's mothers pouch.
There's an adventure playground
providing fun for the children. A spacious tea room serving
high quality fresh ground coffee, speciality teas and
everything from a quick snack to a hot meal. In the farm shop
you will find wonderful farm produce alongside a wide army of
food, toys and gift items. There's plenty to interest the
casual browser or the shopper in search of something a little
different. Huge displays of pickles, jams and chutneys weigh
down the shelves. It's hard not to find something you like.
The fresh meat section boasts a wide variety of superb
sausages along with wonderful dry cured bacon and ham. You'll
find perfectly matured traditional beef, fine lamb and tender
pork. If you've forgotten just how good food can taste, you'll
find plenty of reminders at the Farm Shop. Parking is
available next to the farm and is free for coaches and
disabled visitors who will find good facilities and easy
access to the farm.
