Barnsley Hospice is proud to invite you to a brand-new fundraising event for 2026, Farmers and Friends. Enjoy a delicious Afternoon Tea and hear from Cannon Hall Farmers, Rob and David, stars of Channel 5’s Springtime on the Farm and The Yorkshire Vet.
The event will be held on Saturday, 10 October 2026, starting from 12 pm. Tickets cost £40 per person, and include…

Every penny raised from the day will go towards supporting Barnsley Hospice and the specialist palliative and end of life care we provide to local families every day.
Meet our guest speakers, Rob & Dave!
Rob and David Nicholson are an integral part of Cannon Hall Farm, and have literally grown up around farming after it was purchased by their grandfather nearly seven decades ago! Since then, the farm has grown and evolved into the iconic tourist attraction it is today, and the brothers have become familar faces as champion livestock breeders and stars of hit shows such as Springtime on the Farm, Cannon Hall: A Yorkshire Farm and The Yorkshire Vet.

How your ticket makes a difference!
Barnsley Hospice is proud to provide specialist care to hundreds of local people and their loved ones each year. But these services come with a cost, and we must fundraise around two-thirds of our annual running costs in order to keep them going, free of cost to those who need them most. This means that events like ‘Farmers & Friends’ are vital, and your ticket and donations on the day are truly making a difference to the Barnsley community. Thank you!
Thank you to our amazing event sponsors!
Thank you so much to our wonderful joint event sponsors, Vertu Toyota Barnsley and J Willey & Co Ltd. Their support means so much to us and helps make events like this possible.
