Wortley Classic and Vintage Vehicle Rally – organised by the Wortley Rotary Club - @ Wortley Hall, Wortley Village
Cannon Hall Farm Events
They say farming is in the blood – but anyone from a farming family knows that isn’t true.
It isn’t in the blood.
It’s in the marrow of your bones, in the skin of your fingers, cracked and raw from freezing nights in the lambing shed, from the stoop of your back from lifting heavy bales, from the depths of your soul trying to make it work, make a living, make a life.
See it all throughout the year from lambing to Falconry Weekends.
The Lamproom Theatre

The building opened in 1794 as a Methodist chapel, until it was purchased by the National Association of Boys’ Clubs in 1948.
In 1998, the building was purchased for use as a theatre by Barnsley Theatre Trust.
