Just one day to go - here are some top tips for the day (as well as visiting my stand of course 😊
Top Tips for a great day out!
You've less than 24 hours left to get your early bird tickets! Don’t forget weekend tickets are not available on the gate - only on our website.
> Bought tickets? Make sure you have them printed or accessible on your phone for scanning. Plan ahead, our handy show guide has timetables and maps to help you work out where you want to be and what you want to see and do.
> Tickets can be bought on the gate with cash or card.
> Parking gates open at 8.30am and main gates open at 9.00am. Please ensure you take care on the country roads; this is a popular route for cyclists. Drive slowly once on site. Parking staff will direct you. No dogs to be left in cars in the general parking. Checks will be made.
> Some traders may not have card facilities so cash is recommended.
> Ensure you have suitable and comfy footwear as this is entirely field based.
> Please take a moment to think whether your dog will enjoy the festival; some dogs find crowds and noise stressful. There is still plenty to see and do without a dog.
> Dogs must be on a lead during the whole festival (unless under instruction in an activity). Please DO NOT use an extendable lead when visiting, we don’t want any doggy maypoles. Prong, shock/e-collars re not permitted. Don’t forget the welfare of your dog is your responsibility throughout the duration of the festival and they must not be left unattended at any time.
> When entering your dog(s) in any of the shows, have-a-go rings or activities you do so at your own risk. You must follow the instructions given by the staff/trainers. Keep in mind that some activities may not be suitable for all dogs, e.g activities that have a minimum age or fitness level requirement. We also ask that you consider your dog's temperament before undertaking any activities - if your dog has no recall and not normally off the lead; we wouldn’t recommend their first time being at the festival.
> Please take note of all signage on the day. The site is very large and as parts are a working farm all rules must be adhered to.
> Make sure you bring a dish and water for your dog, whilst there are dishes dotted around, as their human guardian you are responsible for your dog.
> If you are bringing children ensure you collect a blank wristband and write a contact number. Wristbands will be available on the main gate. Ensure your children are aware of the steward tent as a contact point. Please make sure your children are supervised at all times and are aware about dog safety.
and lastly....
Please be kind to our staff and we wish you a simply fantastic weekend!
