Springtime at Cannon Hall Farm is a hardback book that lets you experience the joy of new life on a Yorkshire farm. Follow the Nicholson family as they care for baby goats, lambs, and calves during the busiest season. This book reveals behind-the-scenes secrets from their popular UK farm attraction.
Join the Nicholson family for this heartwarming journey through a typical springtime on their South Yorkshire farm.
Throughout the book they reflect on the childhood stories, testing times, poignant memories and enriching experiences that have shaped the lives they lead today. With the coming of a new season, Roger and Cynthia Nicholson and their sons Richard, Robert and David show how the farming year is shaped around the arrival of baby goats, lambs, calves and piglets galore.
As Yorkshire's premier open farm attraction, Cannon Hall Farm continues to play host to thousands of visitors and spring is the busiest time of the year. People flock to meet the new arrivals and catch up with old favourites such as the llama and alpaca posse, the stunning Shire horses and the irrepressible Shetland ponies, including Ozzy Horsebourne and Jon Bon Pony.
Along with all the animal antics, Springtime at Cannon Hall Farm features tales of bygone days when traditional skills, crafts and daily practices shaped life in the countryside. And for fans of Rob and Dave's Channel 5 shows, there are lots of behind-the-scenes secrets you won't want to miss.
