Cannon Hall Farm opened to the public for the first time in 1989. There’s a host of piglets, lambs and calves for the kids to faun over. Animals aside, there’s an adventure playground, gift shop, farm shop, two restaurants and an indoor playground. All in all, a perfect location for a family day out.

What's on near Cannon Hall Farm

In a dimly lit gallery, three visitors observe large screens displaying monochrome animated figures. Two people sit on wooden benches, while a third stands, all captivated by the striking visuals. Studio lights illuminate the scene.
