Dog Events ⚑
We have lots of fun and entertainment at the Fair, for owners and their dogs.
Well-behaved dogs (with their responsible owners!) are very welcome. Dogs must be kept on short, fixed (non-retractable) leads at all times. Restrictions to some areas may be in place during the Show e.g. the Food Court. Please clean up after your dog and think of other people. Make sure that you have adequate provision for it i.e. water and please do not leave your dog in your vehicle.
