An innovative new exhibition celebrating Cannon Hall’s picturesque parkland will be on show at the Georgian country house this autumn.
‘Park Life, on display from Saturday, 10 September until Sunday, 18 December, examines the Hall’s connection with its landscape, wildlife, unique character and the love affair many people have with it.
The park and its canine visitors take centre stage in the exhibition. Artists James Brunt and Lena Sass have created an intriguing look from the perspective of our four legged friends. Created over the summer the artists collected materials, images and data, to bring the beauty of the Hall’s Parkland into its historic rooms. Visitors will enter the indoor park and experience ‘Dog Cam’, a view of Cannon Hall never seen before. The exhibition combines film, photography and materials collected on site to capture a snap shot of the park and the daily routine of the dog walk.
This unique exhibition celebrates the importance of green spaces, in providing people with invaluable and treasured leisure time and the role parks play in the happiness and wellbeing of its visitors. It has been inspired by the HLF/ Big Lottery Fund, Parks for People project which aims to restore the Richard Wood’s Georgian landscape and enhance the parkland for future visitors.
Cllr Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “It is wonderful to have such beautiful parklands right here in Barnsley. Hundreds of people visit every day and spend quality time in relaxing and picturesque surroundings. The exhibition really celebrates its loveliness and it will be interesting to see if from the perspective of our canine friends, who regularly explore the grounds. It is also the ideal opportunity to find out more about the Parks for People project, which will hugely enhance the Hall’s park and gardens.”

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: October 30, 2018 02:42:20 PM Over 80 stalls set to be occupied in The Glass Works for first day of trading Over 80 stalls are set to be occupied in the new Barnsley Market Hall ahead of its opening on Friday 2 November. Traders are busy preparing for the move into The Glass Works following the hugely successful move of meat and fish traders into the Barnsley Market Food Hall at the start of September. And today, Barnsley Council is delighted to announce that almost all of the stalls in the market will be occupied on the first day of trading with the remainder opening over the next few months. Fifty-three stalls will set up on the ground floor of the market on opening day with others moving in before the end of the year. Upstairs, 32 of the 40 units will be occupied. The remaining eight are set to be let before the end of the year. The opening of Barnsley Market Hall – a momentous occasion in the market’s rich history – will take place on May Day Green on Friday 2 November with an official opening a day later on Saturday 3 November. The first exciting details about the occasion can now be revealed. The Mayor of Barnsley, Councillor Steve Green, will ring the traditional market bell after a speech from Leader of Barnsley Council, Sir Steve Houghton. We’ll be celebrating the history of Barnsley Market with your market memories – while there will also be family entertainment, promotions, competitions and special guest appearances. The move of market traders into the new Market Hall represents a huge milestone in The Glass Works project. Traders from Market Parade will leave their temporary home underneath the multi-storey car park after trading on Saturday 20 October. May Day Green Market will remain open until Saturday 27 October. They will move into the new Market Hall – a bright, modern and spacious market setting more akin to a department store. The new market will also feature extended opening hours and Thursday openings. Meanwhile, market cafes are preparing to move into Market Kitchen later in the month with more details on the move and flagship food court to be announced soon. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “The opening of Barnsley Market Hall will be a fantastic occasion. We’re extremely excited to welcome the traders into The Glass Works and right back into the heart of Barnsley town centre. “The redevelopment of our town centre is built around our famous market. Barnsley has had a market since 1249; it’s what we’re famous for and that’s why the new market is at the centre of The Glass Works. People from far and wide will want to visit the famous Barnsley Market and celebrate what’s sure to be a fantastic next chapter in its rich history. “I want to urge local people to come out and support our brilliant market traders in the Market Hall and Food Hall, both for the opening and moving forward into the future.” Following the market’s move into The Glass Works, the temporary building on May Day Green will be dismantled and sold on, while Market Parade will come down with the multi-storey car park in January. The opening of Barnsley Market Hall – together with the Food Hall – is part of the multi-million pound redevelopment of Barnsley town centre, which includes The Glass Works, markets, public realm, Library @ The Lightbox and Market Gate Bridge.
