Cannon Hall Farm celebrates TV Choice Award nomination for Best Factual Show and welcomes baby goats in the absence of Yorkshire farmers Rob and Dave Nicholson while they film Channel 5’s Harvest on the Farm

Cannon Hall Farm, based in Cawthorne, Barnsley, received an overwhelming response by fans who watched the first episode of its show Harvest on the Farm on Channel 5 at the beginning of this week. The show has continuously received praise ever since.

In a Facebook post, owners of the farm announced the news that it has been shortlisted for a TV Choice Award and encouraged the public to vote for This Week on the Farm online.

The Winter on the Farm/Springtime on the Farm series has been nominated for Best Factual Show category.

The farm hosts the On The Farm series of shows, presented by Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson, with the latest instalment Harvest on the Farm airing its last episode today (September 29) at 8pm.

The show is up against other popular Yorkshire shows such as The Yorkshire Vet, Amanda Owen's Farming Lives and Dan & Helen’s Pennine Adventure.

Farmer Robert Nicholson said: “Every year we are asked to take part in the TV shows, we approach as though it is our last. We don’t ever expect it to continue, and every year we are asked to appear again is always a lovely surprise.

“We’ve experienced so much that we never would have thought possible - from being cowboys in Texas to making new friends that have really become like family now. We have always been so proud to represent our home town of Barnsley and bring some of our TV show friends to our lovely little corner of the world.”

The very popular and long-standing awards honour the nation’s favourite TV shows and stars, and are voted for purely by hundreds of thousands of readers and viewers alike.

Cannon Hall Farm won the award in 2022, with the Barnsley farmers appearing on stage. Votes can be cast until October 10 on the TV Choice website.
