Cannon Arena

Open on Orange and Green Days

Join the battle of the century between the chickens and the foxes. This battle is fought over two storeys with giant sponge ball firing cannons!

Will you use the cannons to protect the chickens and their hen house, or will you side with the foxes and use their tunnels to sneak up and attack the chickens? Suitable for little chicks, mother hens and Mr Fox, everyone is welcome to play in the Cannon Arena (although under sixes should be accompanied by a responsible adult).

If the battle has made you peckish (pardon the pun) the Cannon Arena comes complete with a small cafe. Click here for more details...

The cannon arena is so much fun! There are real cannons that you can use to shoot foam balls at each other, and tunnels you can crawl through.
