Hello strangers! Whilst this isn't exciting news about a new dog field in the village, it is an announcement that a few of you might be interested in!

We've set up a pop-up sauna and cold plunge in our field in Cropredy (next to the cricket club) and over the last few weeks we've been trialling sessions for people to come and experience a bit of 'wild wellness' in the village!

You can find out more and how to book below!

🔥 Wood-fired Nordic sauna. ❄️ Ice-cold plunge. 🌿 Wild wellness in Cropredy. Sessions are £15/per person

On the edge of the legendary Fairport Fields, you’ll find a new way to switch off and recharge. Heat up, cool down, and feel the difference.

Sessions at the Ice and Fire Sauna club in Cropredy start on the 4th October!

We're really looking forward to welcoming you as sauna season gets in full swing. There are sessions available daily from early-o'clock until dusk. Come with friends or join us on your own - it's a very welcoming spot even for the anti-social amongst us (we would know!).

We are also adding ladies-only and gents-only sweat-fest sessions! If you or a group are interested in joining one of these, message us and we'll give you the dates.

Solo sessions are also available for those who want to 'dip their toes' before unleashing their 'cold plunge face' on strangers!

Step inside our wood-fired Nordic sauna tent, perched on the edge of the famous Fairport Fields - home to one of the most iconic folk festivals in the world. Music, history, magic… these fields have seen it all. Now they’re the backdrop of something new: fire, ice, and a dash of wild wellness. F...

Hey folks - this is just for those of you in the village!
If you're having a wander over the weekend and you fancy a pint - we have Fingerprint Brewery pouring pints over on Williamscot Road - it's outside the main festival so you don't need a band - just take a stroll and you'll find us! Local folks serving some tasty beers and cider - some a little too tasty!

Hello all! Something exciting is happening in the county and we thought you'd like to be the first to know... there's a new dog field facility opening in Oxfordshire in Spring (April). It's going to have something for everyone - I wish I could tell you more but I've been sworn to secrecy! This has been a huge project (I've been lending a hand but this is not ours) and we know it's going to be awesome. If you want to be kept in the loop please subscribe to their mailing list (link below) and you'll be the first to know as information is leaked! https://exciting-maker-3266.ck.page

This is for any of you who utilise the Northamptonshire fields - because we're based on the county boundary, we figured some of you might be too! Voting for Northants fields open now!

Some of you will remember that we used to provide canine first aid courses through Freedom Dog Trails with the simply brilliant Bridget (who also has a dog grooming facility in Cropredy). It was probably the best investment of time and money we've every made for our dogs and now we're able to offer them again through British Dog Fields - both in person and zoom versions of the course (we did a zoom one and it was great).

Hi guys - just a little plug for our dog poo bag subscription service! (and a freebie)

Here's a shocker - your dog is likely to go through at least 13,000 poo bags in it's lifetime. Probably better if they aren't plastic right?!

Next time you get one out - have a look at the small print on the box or on the bag itself and see if you feel satisfied that it's actually as eco-friendly as you believed. Some of the biggest brands are the WORST 'green-washers'.

If you want to check out how it works, click the link and a code for 50 free bags with your first delivery 'FREEDOM' at the checkout.

Hi Guys - as many of you know, since the field at Prescot closed, we have been busy with British Dog Fields - and as a result, I have been more preoccupied with the topic of 'Dog Poo Bags' than I could ever have imagined.

To cut a long story short I decided that an affordable, properly eco-friendly poo bag subscription service needed setting up round here and so after a lot of research and in the field testing, I found a really great manufacturer (who really gets the issues), and set up my own dog poo bag dispensory!

If you are in the market for delivered monthly dog poo bags that actually do the job whether you just have 1 dog or are operating a day care facility, please click the link below - https://britishdogfields.com/shop/ or if you want to read more about how sketchy dog poo bags are you can read more about that here: https://britishdogfields.com/compostable-dog-poo-bags-are-shady/

If there's one missing, it might be because it's located outside of the county boundary and we needed to make sure it was a fair competition!
