Dog Policy
We are dog friendly Festival and we welcome well behaved dogs, provided they bring with them well behaved owners at the end of their leash who respect our facilities and above all else, other Festival goers. To help with this, please see the regulations below:
- Dogs are strictly NOT allowed in the music marquees or within the Family area (unless they are authorised assistance dogs). They must ALWAYS be kept in control and on short leads (under 1.5m) at ALL times during the Festival and within the campsite.
- It is YOUR responsibility to pick up after your dog and adhere to the Festival’s dog policy as well as abide by the law. If you fail to adhere to our policy, this may result in you and your dog being asked to leave the Festival. Under such circumstances, NO refunds will be given.
- Please be considerate to others – it’s hard to believe, but not everyone loves dogs like we do, so if your dog’s temperament can sometimes be a cause for concern, carefully consider whether bringing them to the Festival is the best decision. Remember, some children can also be very afraid of dogs, so try to prevent your dog from running up to people – even if the dog is just being friendly.
- Please also ask yourself whether bringing your dog to the Festival is right for them. There will be loud music, potentially large crowds and whilst some dogs may love the action and attention, others may prefer to be curled up at home. We will provide you with a wristband to attach to your dog’s collar – just in case you get separated – which will give you space to write your name and phone number on so you can be reunited.
- Be aware of the law – Dog’s (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953 – remembering we are on agricultural land!
- Never leave a dog unattended in a car, even with the window open and water available. Take them out of the car and leave them in a secure, cool place with access to shade and water.
