Why Visit?

One of the Best Farms in the UK
Enjoy the excitement of placing a bet on the sheep and ferret racing and see what goes on behind the scenes at the farm you've seen on the telly.
We're a Shire Horse Society Registered Centre so you'll get to hear all about our largest animals as well as seeing a wide variety of rare breeds of cows, pigs, donkeys, ponies and sheep plus more exotic species like llamas, alpacas and even porcupine.
One of our most popular attractions, the reptile house allows members of the public to hear all about our more exotic creatures. This house includes everything from snakes to iguanas – but by far one of our most fascinating exhibits is our colony of leaf-cutter ants.
Our incredible small mammal house is home to some of the most unique creatures in the UK. We've teamed up with zoos from across the country to help with some breeding programmes for unusual creatures such as the long-nosed potoroos or our cloud rats.
The Farmyard
Our barns are all undercover and give visitors a unique insight into modern farming. We carry on every day farming life – including tractor and machinery work – as visitors watch from purpose-built viewing platforms above the animals.
Our farmers are always happy to answer questions as they go about their daily duties. You won't need wellies at our farm – we are all paved and very buggy friendly.
Woolly Jumpers Bouncing Pillows
Jump into summer on our brand new bouncing pillow play area! There are two pillows for plenty of fun, with one reserved just for the little lambs to make it safer for them.
Woolly Jumpers is all included with your farm admission, so the kids can bounce to their heart's content as part of a fun family day out.
Indoor Soft Play
Our spectacular indoor play area, The Hungry Llama, is one of the biggest and best in the region. It's a hive of exciting play opportunities with nine dramatic slides designed to entertain the most adventurous children, plus a role play village.
We serve great food in the 350 seat restaurant where adults can relax while the kids play.
Adventure Playgrounds
Our huge outdoor play areas are some of the best in the North of England. There's adventure everywhere with fantastic slides and towns for the kids to let off steam.
Incredible Eateries
There are three restaurants to choose from at Cannon Hall Farm – you can access the Lucky Pup (dog friendly) Cafe and The White Bull restaurant without needing a farm ticket.
Once you're inside the farm itself, The Hungry Llama soft play serves top quality food for parents to enjoy while the kids run off some steam.

What Our Visitors Say
Fantastic day out for both little and big kids! There is so much to see and do, from the sheep racing and ferret racing to the educational talks throughout the day. It's a real working farm with beautiful, well-looked-after animals, including adorable piglets and magnificent Shire horses. The tractor ride was a great addition and a hit with everyone. There is also a lovely restaurant and shop on site, making it easy to spend the whole day there. Every member of staff we met was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the farm and its animals. There is plenty to keep them going with 3/4 play areas and places to eat and have a picnic! A brilliant family day out that we would highly recommend!
Lovely farm and such a lovely experience! You can tell the animals are genuinely well cared for, which is what matters most to me. It was also incredibly affordable. We paid just £5 each for two adults to visit from 3:30pm until 6:00pm, which gave us plenty of time to look around. There’s also a really nice walk around the park afterwards, so you can easily make an afternoon of it. We were bored and booked it completely last minute just to give us something to do, and the whole experience was so straightforward and easy. Everything was simple to navigate, and it was very easy to get around. As someone who is autistic and has major sensory issues, I particularly appreciated how smooth and relaxed the experience was. It didn’t feel overwhelming, and I found it really easy to take our time and enjoy everything without feeling rushed. There were also some lovely surprises! I wasn’t expecting to see leafcutter ants, and they were so interesting to watch. We also didn’t expect to see reptiles, so that was another really nice surprise. Personal tip: if you don’t enjoy busy places or, like me, find crowds and lots of stimulation overwhelming, I would definitely recommend booking the 3:30pm slot. It’s not only cheaper, but it was also much quieter when we visited, which made the whole experience much more enjoyable. Overall, a really lovely little visit, especially considering how affordable it is. We booked it on a whim and ended up having a much better time than we expected!
Second time having visited after an eight year lapse. The farm is just bigger and better than last time, and even then it was good. In addition to great exposure to the traditional farm animals, there is a well stocked farm shop, restaurants and eateries and ice cream galore (great for a sunny day like when we visited). There is also the mammals house and reptile house. Sheep racing and tractor rides. A number of educational information posts dotted throughout that aid understanding of how important British farming is. Ample car parking with an option to pay online when booking your tickets. Animal feed is plenty for £1 per portion. Great for families as it was for ours but great for any demographic also.
Really nice day out for Father’s Day. 2 year old enjoyed the walkable grounds and seeing the various animals. Seeing the piglets at different ages was great. Sheep race was fun! The restaurant was great and portions were huge! Soft play has multiple sections for different ages of children. Would come again to try other activities as daughter gets older.
