Cannon Hall Farm welcomes over 40,000 school children each year making it one of the region’s top educational attractions.
Our one-hour guided tour offers an illuminating educational experience designed to fulfil many of the requirements of the national curriculum.
Then the children can enjoy our Adventure Playground.
It’s one of the biggest and best in the region with over £400,000 of investment in the spring of 2011.
There are spectacular new pyramid towers and slides, a huge new space net, fantastic new climbing forest for the older children and an innovative new tube maze that will entertain kids of all ages and provide possibly the best game of hide and seek you’ve ever had.
Undercover area for rainy days
For rainy days we have large purpose built undercover picnic areas.
We provide a quality and value for money experience in a package featuring plenty of animal interaction with lots of scope for work back in the classroom.
In 2005 we were awarded the title “Best Farm For Schools” in the UK.
A day at Cannon Hall Farm is full of possibilities for follow on work and a great investment in the future of your children.

Here’s what one of our 2011 visitors had to say:
I would like to thank all the staff involved in today’s trip – from the first phone call to the guide Chloe that showed us round to the staff that worked in the canteen – thank you so much.
My class of energetic year 2s have said it was the best trip ever and I have to agree. Wonderful service, grounds and conditions for a safe and enjoyable environment. Thank you so very much for everything; the meet and greet and the sunflower seeds! Shelley First School will be back and I will be telling everyone I know how good it was.

SAFETY NOTICE
See our ‘Keep safe on the farm’ document.
This website, developed by the farming charity LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming), is a fun way to find out about agriculture and the environment, where you can see and hear about how food is grown with care for wildlife.
The Virtual Farm Walk covers crop and livestock farming, you can visit different parts of the farm, meet the animals, look at machinery, and two farmers are on hand to explain what is going on.
There are lots of things to do and activity sheets that can be downloaded.
