Cannon Hall (Barnsley)

Cannon Hall has so many things to do it is actually fun for all of the family. Cannon Hall is a beautiful country house in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, however not only does it have the house to visit there is also a large amount of outside area to explore including an open farm. The open farm is very well managed, having one door for entrance and one for exit makes life alot easier, especially when there are lots of children about. The prices are very resonable I can't remember exactly but it was definately less than £4 each and family tickets etc are available. Upon entry children get given a little bag of food (we got this free however I believe this is ...  Read the complete review

Canon Hall is a great day out, especially if you have children to entertain. If you live in South or West Yorkshire then Canon Hall is within easy reach of you, and you should make the effort to pop along on a sunny day. As well as the house and grounds which you can explore and enjoy, Canon Hall has a working farm. For a small fee (I forget the exact amounts, but it's very reasonable) you can enter the farm area and feed the animals. There's all the usual farmyard favourites in attendance - cows, pigs, sheep, goats, birds and even a few llama. Plus, for smaller children who maybe be a little scared at the thought of feeding a cow, there are petting areas ...  Read the complete review

Cannon Hall is a country house museum that was opened to the public in 1957 but has been in existence since the 13th century (although a house under another name was shown to be on this site in the 1086 Domesday Survey.) Surrounding the house is 70 acres of parkland and on the same site is an open farm. Situated near to the village of Cawthorne, part of the Barnsley Borough, Cannon Hall can be easily reached along the A635 from Barnsley town centre. It has ample parking in both the main and top car parks. Parking is £2.50 for cars and £5 for coaches but there is no charge for accessing the park, museum or gardens. The park is open all year round and ...  Read the complete review

Cannon Hall in Barnsley is one of those places that I had always wanted to visit but was waiting till I had a child that was the right sort of age for going to a petting farm. Don't get me wrong, Cannon Hall is so much more than just a farm but that was the main reason for me going. So, a couple of weeks ago I finally got the chance to take my daughter and she absolutely loved it. My husband is not one for walking but even he had a good day in the sun and will definitely go back next year, or maybe even later this year. It was a beautiful day when we went and, although the car park (which you need to take change for) was a long way from the hall and the farm, ...  Read the complete review

Cannon Hall Farm is a fun filled day for any family, be them old or young there is something to enjoy. For a start children will love a day's visit to see the animals and have a great time on the adventure playground. They have all the usual farmyard animals to see and you can buy bags of food to feed them with too which is fun (and messy) also with it being a working farm there is always babies to be seen somewhere too. With it being a working farm there is a lot to learn so it is educational which I always like to see. The admission fee is a very reasonable £3.75 for adults and £3.25 for children. As well as the farm and adventure playground there ...  Read the complete review
