🎉🐾 WE’RE BACK OPEN AND SECURE! 🐾🎉

Well, after Sunday’s rather dramatic performance from Mother Nature, we’re pleased to announce that both Freedom Play and Freedom Explore are officially BACK OPEN! 🥳

The fences are back up, the shelters are back where they belong (rather than attempting to relocate themselves into the neighbouring field 🙄), and everything is safe and secure again!

Firstly, a massive THANK YOU to everyone whose bookings we’ve had to cancel at short notice. You’ve all been so lovely and understanding, and we really do appreciate it. ❤️

And secondly, an absolutely HUGE THANK YOU to our brilliant builders! 👷‍♂️🔨 Mintcandour

They’re a small local business themselves, just hardworking blokes who completely understand the pressures of running a small business. They’ve pulled out all the stops to get us back up and running as quickly as possible.

It’s genuinely lovely to see one small local business going above and beyond to help another. It means a lot to us, and we’re incredibly grateful. ❤️

As much as Anne and I enjoy a bit of excitement, we’d quite like the rest of the year to be a little less eventful, please! 😂

Thank you all again for your patience and support! 🐶💚

STORM DAMAGE AT HANKHAM – EXPLORE & PLAY UPDATE 🌪️

Well, it seems Mother Nature decided to pay Freedom Fields a visit last night… and she certainly didn’t come to walk her dog! 🙈🐾

Unfortunately, the storm has caused quite a bit of damage at Hankham. Our lovely new shelter in Explore has decided it no longer wishes to live there, flipped itself upside down and taken a section of fencing with it on its travels! 🤦‍♀️

The irony? Our old fencing and old shed have survived completely untouched. Naturally, it’s the lovely brand-new stuff that’s taken the hit. You really couldn’t make it up! 😂😭

🐾 EXPLORE – CLOSED SUNDAY, MONDAY & TUESDAY

Unfortunately, with the fencing down, Explore is no longer secure, so we have no choice but to close it for safety reasons.

We’re already speaking with our amazing builders, who are doing their very best to get out to us as soon as possible. Obviously, with the weather being what it is, we’re having to work around that too.

We’re hoping to get everything repaired and Explore reopened as quickly as possible.

🐾 PLAY – HOPEFULLY OPEN FROM MIDDAY TODAY

We’re currently working to make sure Play is completely safe and secure, and we’re hoping to have everything sorted by around midday today.

For those visiting Play, please ignore the upside-down shelter! It’s not a new agility feature, although we’re sure some of your dogs would give it a go! 😂 It actually belongs next door in Explore, and that’s exactly where it needs to go back!

We’ll keep everyone updated if anything changes.

On a serious note, we’re absolutely gutted. We’ve put so much time, money and hard work into improving the fields, so waking up to this wasn’t quite the Sunday morning we’d planned.

We know closures are frustrating, and we really do appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. The safety of your dogs will always come first, and we won’t reopen a field until we’re completely happy it’s secure.

A massive thank you to our lovely customers for bearing with us. ❤️🐾

We are back online!!

🐾 BOOKING SYSTEM UPDATE 🐾

Unfortunately, our booking system appears to be down at the moment.

We have contacted the booking provider and are currently waiting for a response.

We apologise for any inconvenience and will update you as soon as everything is back up and running.

Thank you for your patience and understanding! 🐶🐾

Freedom Play update 🐾

We popped over to Freedom Play yesterday intending to repair a couple of the cable drums in the play equipment.

Once we started taking a proper look underneath, it became very clear they were in a much worse state than we’d realised and were far too wobbly to safely repair, so we made the decision to remove them completely.

Unfortunately, we’d only booked the field out for long enough to carry out what we thought would be a fairly straightforward repair, not to completely rebuild that section, so it’s looking a little unfinished at the moment!

We’ve already got some huge tyres ready to go and we’re booked back in next week to rebuild the area, with ramps leading up and over to the remaining large cable drum. So it should actually end up being an even better little climbing feature once we’re finished. 🐶

We’re also really struggling to get hold of decent large wooden cable drums now, so if anyone has any of the big ones available, or knows a company that might be getting rid of some, please do let us know.

You lovely lot have got us fully booked for the next few days, so we’re getting back in there as early as we possibly can.

Sorry it looks a bit of a work in progress in the meantime. Better slightly messy for a few days than leaving something in the field that we weren’t completely happy was safe. 💚

💩 Another poo post… because apparently we still need one! 💩

We are continuing to receive complaints about dog poo being left in the fields, and honestly, it’s becoming incredibly frustrating.

We spend approximately £500 every month providing poo bags and having the bins professionally emptied across our fields. We do this because we don’t want our walkers to have to take bags of dog poo home in their cars—as some other dog fields require.

We provide the bags.
We provide the bins.
We pay to have them emptied.

All we ask in return is that you pick up after your own dog and put the bag in the bin.

We know that the vast majority of our walkers are responsible and always clean up, and we really do appreciate you. But unfortunately, a small number of people are continuing to leave it behind for other customers—or us—to find and pick up.

Please keep an eye on your dog while using the field. Even if you’re on your phone, chatting or have more than one dog with you, it is still your responsibility to know when they have been to the toilet.

It’s your dog. Please pick up its poo.

🚧 A heads-up for our Battle walkers 🐾

We’ve been made aware that there are currently roadworks in the local area, which are causing some delays and have resulted in a few people arriving late for their field bookings.

If you’re heading to Freedom Fields Battle, please allow a little extra time for your journey where possible. ⏰

We’re not currently sure how long the roadworks will be in place, but we just wanted to give everyone a heads-up so you don’t lose any of your precious field time! 🐶💚

🐾 A little poo bag upgrade at Freedom Fields! 🐾

Over the next few weeks, you’ll notice our green poo bags being replaced with new black bags from BowCo, a local company based in Hastings. We love supporting local businesses wherever we can, so we’re really pleased to be working with another one so close to home! 💛

Our current green bags are eco-friendly, but after testing the BowCo bags alongside them, we felt the new ones were a better quality — extra thick, leak-proof and a little more robust for those less-than-glamorous dog-walking moments! 💩😂

The new bags are made from biodegradable materials, and the boxes they come in are recyclable, so we’re keeping the environmental side of things in mind too. 🌿

We’ll be swapping them over gradually as our current stock runs down, so you may see a mixture for a little while.

If you like using them at the fields, please give a follow on Instagram. They’re hoping to offer our field users a discount on their bags in the future, so you’ll be able to stock up for your walks at home too. 🐶

As always, thank you for helping us keep the fields clean and lovely for everyone. Pick it up, bag it and bin it! 💚

🚨 PLEASE STOP SMOKING IN OUR FIELDS 🚨

As many of you will have seen, the Government has sent out a Severe Alert this evening due to the very high risk of wildfires across the country.

Our fields are incredibly dry at the moment. Grass, hedgerows and surrounding land can catch fire frighteningly quickly — and one discarded cigarette could be enough to start it.

Despite us repeatedly asking people not to smoke, we are STILL finding cigarette butts in the fields, and other walkers are finding them too.

We genuinely don’t know how many more times we can say this:

DO NOT SMOKE IN THE FIELDS.

This isn’t us being awkward or making unnecessary rules. It is about protecting our fields, neighbouring land, wildlife, homes, businesses, our customers and their dogs.

If you need to smoke, please do it before or after your booking, away from the field.

Please, please use some common sense. In these conditions, a tiny spark can become a serious fire incredibly quickly.

If you are caught smoking in the field, you will be asked to leave and may be prevented from making future bookings.

We love our fields and we know the overwhelming majority of you respect them. We just need the small minority who are continuing to ignore this rule to finally listen.

STOP SMOKING IN THE FIELDS.

☀️ Please remember to bring water! 💧

With the hot weather continuing, we’d like to remind everyone that we do not provide drinking water at any of our fields.

We don’t have a source of fresh, running water. Although there are water butts at Freedom Run in Battle that collect rainwater, we don’t consider this safe or suitable for dogs to drink—especially during the summer, when the water may have been sitting in the heat for some time. We also do not provide communal water bowls, as shared bowls can become contaminated and increase the risk of spreading germs and illness between dogs.

Please make sure you bring:

💧 Plenty of fresh water for your dog
🥣 Your own water bowl

Please also remember to take your bowls and containers home with you after your visit, as anything found in the fields has been left behind by another customer and is not provided by Freedom Fields.

Thank you for helping us keep every dog safe and hydrated! 🐾
