Sheep Shearing at Cannon Hall Farm

About the event

On the fringe of Kirklees the Farm is not far from Bretton Park and Clayton West.

Our fantastic sheep shearing demonstrations are making a welcome return to Cannon Hall Farm – just in time for half term.

Join our farmers in our roundhouse display barns as we shear our flock of sheep – and talk visitors through why we do this, and where the wool goes.

This activity is all included with your farm admission, so you can also spend the day having fun on our farm, visiting the animals, experiencing our brand new accessible play areas (which have just had a multi-million pound investment) plus sheep and ferret racing and tractor rides, plus watching meerkat feeding sessions.

Our reptile house will showcase our team-working ants and some fascinating other creatures – and our mammal house is home to some of the most unusual and rare mini beasts.

Entry into the soft play is also included – plus there’s a free quiz trail to help keep the kids occupied.

Adults and Children 2 and over: £13.95pp / Under 2s go Free / Carers go free (with full price paying ticket) / Maxx cards accepted / Farm Passes will be accepted for this event.

Tickets must be booked online in advance.
