Have a blast during your visit to Hagley with a demonstration of our signal cannon! Be prepared, it may seem small, but really packs a punch!

Demonstrations take place next to the Millwright Shop in the historic powder yard.

Demonstrations take place at 1, 2, and 3 p.m.

Included with admission and free for Hagley members.

Please note that cannon firings are weather-dependent.
